Vladimir Guerrero Jr. earns D+ grade amid underwhelming first half
Summary

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays received a D+ grade for his production, falling short of early-career standards. Entering a game on June 27, he had a.277 batting average with 32 RBI. Despite this struggle, Guerrero earned enough votes to advance to Phase 2 of the AL All-Star Game voting, where he will face Ben Rice. Guerrero's overall performance has been inconsistent and contrasts sharply with the numbers of Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz, who has outperformed him significantly this season.
