With his 5 e23, his modified OPS drops from .841 to .374, basically in the same OPS range with fielding calculated in as (if you can believe it) Colin Curtis.
As a DH Vlad is a top of the draft card choice. In non DH leagues (which is how TSN priced him), he will kill you in the field. Remember errors in the corners are often extra bases, a range of 5 gets to nothing, so he is going to kill you over the course of a full season, no matter what his offensive numbers are.
That's why Andres Torres costs $5.5mil more. With the same OPS, his 1 e1 fielding is THAT much of a difference.
