Already in this brief season, Jason Heyward of the Atlanta Braves and Ike Davis of the New York Mets have sent their teams fans into a frenzy over their successful debuts.

Vlad is expected to be the primary DH next season in Texas as his knees and injury issues the past few seasons have limited his ability to play the outfield on a regular basis. Last season, Vlad had [...]
