Yeap. He's going to end up on 1B or DH there is no doubt in my mind. But like I said, his bat needs to be better than what we saw so far. If he hits like Fielder (career .827 OPS) then it will somewhat make up for being an overweight base runner and average to below average D value player. Looks like Fielder played at about 230lbs too, where as Vlad is listed as a generous 250lbs.
When Vlad was rated as the #1 prospect in baseball, I don't think any of us was hoping he'd top out at 17.2 career WAR either.
