he peaked HR wise in 2004 And peaked with ops IN 2003... he is 32+
but if i had to pick a guy for this year in RF Vlad would be my man in RF period! but in 5 years the best upside i see in any of the RF's listed has to be the guy thats under 25 (is actually 20) and has 5 hr's so far this year is batting .415 with 11 RBIs and was a player that over a dozen teams in baseball was trying to trade multiple players/money to his team for his rights in the 2005 draft! & every gm would say has more potential upside value then any other RF player listed in the poll!
