On the Vlad Guerrero issue.
As an athlete, I don't understand him. Two athletes that to me seem kinda similar to him, in that I don't get them...  Nate MacMillan and Dirk Nowitzki.  All three of those dudes, you see 'em walk around and they're kinda herky-jerky, look like they maybe grew just a bit too much, long limbs & knobby joints...  Not the fluid, graceful, classic athlete archetype.
I watched Dirk Nowitzki once at a shootaround before a Sonics game, and thought, he looks injured and he's going to have an off night.  Then he dropped like 35 and 12 or something. 
Same with Vlad, I watch him shuffle out to right field with a limp and I think, the dude's knees are about to go.  Then the game starts and he's sprinting and catching everything and pumping jacks into the nosebleeds.
I have no earthly idea if he's about to toe the Mendoza line or go Big Hurt as you suggest he might.
