Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is a right-handed hitting first baseman who turns 26 in March. Six seasons into his MLB career, he’s played 819 games . He’s been very durable, playing 161, 160, 156 and 159 games in the four seasons since the shortened season. Vlad had a 21.5 bWAR at that time. He’s had two terrific seasons with 6.7 and 6.2 bWARs and three seasons considered disappointments. I don’t need to write a ‘Better Know’ about him. We know him by now.
It would stretch his defensive abilities and risk losing the durability mentioned above. The way our offense is, losing Vlad for a few games would be a disaster. There are players you put in a spot and move the other guys around. Vlad should be one of those. I don't move him for anything if I know I can get 150+ games out of Vlad if he plays first. But I guess adding another power bat would be a good thing.
