Hey Irish, that bet is no gimme for you. Vlady just turned 28, and he has 238 hrs. If he averages 40 hrs a yr and plays till only 41 yrs old (bonds is turning 40 soon) then Vlady will end up with 758 hrs. And if anyone knows Vlady, it's me. He was an expo for quite some time and I took a good look at this guy and let me tell you one thing, this guy is better than a lot of people think he is. He will hit 40 hrs a year easily, and he will even have some 50 hr years along the way.. If he stays healthy, he breaks Aarons record easily. This kid is good. He is very talented.
