Vladimir Guerrero on Long Island Ducks

[yanksfan09]

Vladimir has signed to play with the LI Ducks of the Independent League. I bought some tickets last night for a a game a couple weeks from now, hoping to see him play. I think it should be pretty cool to watch a great hitter like him in a small local setting. I guess he just wants to still play, I guess maybe hoping to get signed by an MLB club.

This guy is one of the most talented hitters I ever watched. I seen him play a couple time when he came to Yankee Stadium. He can hit a ball anywhere in or out of the strike zone. Certainly not a selective hitter. He was such an explosive player back in the day, I think he may still be able to be a bench bat/DH/ pinch hit type in the A.L.

Was curious to hear some other people's thoughts on Vlad, the Ducks, and his chance of being picked up by an MLB squad?.....

Didn't the Ducks also sign Dontrelle?

They have had a few other stars play for them in past. I think Ricky Henderson played for them.

Yeah they did sign Dontrelle. I actually went to and just got back from their first and I think only spring training game at home. It was free to the public to go. Unfortunately Vladimir wasn't there, I learned he was still in the Domincan with family. I got to see Dontrelle and get an autograph while he was in the bullpen before the game. I don't think he pitched at all, but didn't stay the whole game. Ian Snell, Ramon Castro and a couple other players were there that had brief MLB stints.

the mets should of signed Vlad

I wish the Yankees had years ago instead of Gary Sheffield. I think Vlad would have even been cheaper at the time maybe. I would have loved to have seen Vlad in pinstripes!
