Sounds like you are. Feel free to pm a mod and have them run IP addresses. Believe it or not, we have more than 50 members on this site, so there is a chance that two posters can be from the same state. Don't be mad just because more than one disagrees with your posts.
It literally says I'm not accusing you of anything, I just find it interesting. Sounds to me like your comprehension has once again failed you. Not surprising based on your continued content. Is 1981 also your birth year? It would mean your quite old to behave like this and not understand things. Wait, on second thought I don't want to know what it means.

You would not have typed the prior statement followed by "but I am not accusing you" if you had not been insinuating something. Appears as if my reading comprehension is just fine. I'm bowing out of our conversation. But if I could just leave one thought with you before I go please..........Vlad is still fat, and no kids were harmed with the typing of this sentence.:)!

Congratulations on feeling good about being some late 30s jerk on the interwebs towards a 20 year old ball player. Super witty, I think it's awesome and not pathetic and sad...I swear.:rolleyes:

Vlad's 2016 auto is finally about to be surpassed by Acuna's 2017 auto for the first time since April 2018. That should tell you everything you need to know.

I don't have any of these autos, but I find it funny that you can throw critism at people selling cards at higher prices when you're sitting on your Andrew Benintendi BC auto for 137 which is well over recent sold prices which is are in the 95 range. Pot meet kettle.
Not sure why you and Premium are getting so much joy in bashing this kid about his weight and after a bad 50 ABs. It says a lot about both of you as people. It's frankly quite sad.
I bashed him for his weight? That’d be news to me...
My Benintendi is on eBay. Not here. It has been listed for like 6+ months which I rarely check my eBay or add new stuff to it. I’m in 0 rush to move it which is normal for my eBay stuff. But next time you try and criticize me at least have some understanding. Thanks

Honest question--not really directed at the quote....but everyone going back and forth...
You think this is going to get better with the amount of money being dumped into prospects? Heck No. Wait till 5-6 actually fall flat on there face. Vlad is young and I obviously think the sample size is too small to take warning too.....but if he bust it could be the start of the market re-normalizing. We have been on a tear of good young players playing well....it is going to end at some point. There have always been more Matt Laportas then Ronald Acunas
Triple B
05-11-2019, 02:51 PM
It’s only as of late that prices have hit what they have. LaPorta never commanded the money that prospects are getting now. Speculators are going nuts trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Like I’ve said before, people who are buying on credit are the ones who stand to lose the most. Guys with deep pockets will take a loss and move on to the next big thing. Worse than Vlad is what people are paying for Wander Franco right out of the pack. At least Vlad started off at $100...Franco is what, $400? What’s the next big guy going to come out at?

The biggest problem with Vlad's start is the guys like Acuna, Soto, Alonso this season and so on who just jumped right in at a younger age and took off running........
Just in this year's Rookie Class
Alonso - .270/.354/.574/.929, 11 HR, 31 RBI
Tellez - .272/.314/.517/.831, 10 HR, 32 RBI (over last season too)
Verdugo - .288/.343/.460/.802, 6 HR, 24 RBI (last season too)
Tatis Jr. - .300/.360/.550/.910, 6 HR, 13 RBI
Chavis - .270/.395/.587/.982, 6 HR, 14 RBI
Vlad - .146/.222/.171/.393, 0 HR, 1 RBI
Senzel - .229/.308/.543/.851, 3 HR, 6 RBI

Senzel - .229/.308/.543/.851, 3 HR, 6 RBI
I own 0 Vlads but every player in this rookie class except Tatis is a minimum 2 years older than him. Tatis is also older than Vlad as well. Alonso is 4 years older than Vlad so that is a horrible example to say jumped right in at a younger age.
Acuna (who was older) and Soto both have skewed the 20 year old's who come up and mash right out of the gate. Trout's first taste of the majors didn't go very well either.

05-11-2019, 03:35 PM
Early during his Rookie of the Year campaign in which he hit 26 HRs and batted .293, Acuna had a stretch where he was 9 for 52 with 18 Ks one week after first being called up (May 9th through 19th).
Guerrero is currently 7 for 46 with 11 Ks through a similar stretch.
Small sample sizes are ridiculous when someone shows prolonged and obvious skills against older and elite competition.

1-1 with 2 walks? Lol that's what an average major leaguer would call a solid game. Congrats to him for doing his job. I'll get excited when he has 3 hits and a bomb.

For all of us who’ve actually laced up spikes in our life, we know sometimes it’s a very small thing that breaks you out of a funk. A key at bat where you scratch out a bloop hit. A couple walks. Sometimes it can be just something dumb that makes you rediscover the Joy. Heck, before an at bat a teammate makes you laugh by making fun of some doofus eating cracker jacks in the third row and suddenly you’re a kid again and raking.
Getting on all four ABs is a nice day. Could be meaningless could open the floodgates. Time will tell.

I agree. You don’t need speed and you don’t need to be in CrossFit shape to play baseball. Good players come in all shapes and sizes. Most of those who say he isn’t going to be good because “he’s overweight,” have probably never played competitive ball in their life.

He'd have to get sent back down for that to happen, or acquire a season long injury. And even then it's hard to imagine them going anywhere near that mark given his age and what he's almost certainly capable of in the majors.

True, I'd probably still take a long look at picking up one if they dropped below 6, but I'd still be on the fence at that point. Under 5 is when they become a good deal again IMO

If he does, that’s awesome and I’ll be rooting for him. I just think there was WAY too much hype for a 3 tool player to live up to.

Anyone that purchased any of his cards from late 2016 - late 2018 is not an idiot. And the jury is still out for anyone that purchased his cards in 2019.

If you invested in his cards in 2019 the odds are HIGHLY against you that you will ever make money on them... It is 2019 so that is where we are at.
You seem upset. I am sorry he is off to a horrendous start. But that is the situation at hand
You must be referring to my avatar? I pulled that out of 1 box so no "investment" there. Thanks :flex:!

Maybe it's been mentioned in one of the 1,839 pages but I just saw this on MLB, so it's definitely worth noting:
Thirteen games into his career, the hype seems to have affected Guerrero. No, that’s not a comment on how he’s approached his arrival. It’s a comment on how opposing pitchers have approached him. They knew from day one not to give the kid anything to hit and it’s led to, as of entering play Sunday, Guerrero getting the lowest percentage of pitches in the zone of any player in the Majors with at least 40 plate appearances this season.

100% correct. Just forgot to include that there is a 5 year gap between their ages during their rookie seasons (20 vs 25). But you are right. How’s rehab going?

That also speaks to how little he's played. People were jumping on him like he's a bust because he struggled for a week. In baseball you play 162 games (knowledge is power) so having a 5-10 games of slumping or a slow start is pretty common.

Sadly, this is the fault of the over reaction nation we live in. 1 good game = hall of famer, 1 3k game = BUST .. it was what made me stop watching baseball and just become sick of it in 2013. Hearing so much about Puig before he ever accomplished anything just got so annoying. It was the same with Vlad, MLB.com would write an article about how he clipped his nails like his dad did in the clubhouse over actual baseball. It was nice that it died down a bit while he was struggling, but we all knew it would come roaring back on his first home run.
I guess I more get annoyed with the hot take generation that we have become, but I will say it makes it rather easy to make money on cards. Buy when people panic sell and sell them the same card a week later for 30% more .. easy money so that is the benefit of it.

:coffee:I'm right here. Vlad is a 20 year old MLB player. As I've said many times, he will be just fine. He recently had a two homer game, which was way sooner than his HOF father had one. Again I've already made my money a while ago and have very few cards left so I have nothing to gain from his success, but I don't understand why people continue to root for his failure.
He's very good for the game and the hobby. It just seems petty and frankly kinda dumb. Looking at you newbie VDM83% and mr no deals ever. Stop hating and just enjoy the kid. I'm old btw, so the agism talk is also silly. Anyone old talking snack needs serious help or some friends. Not really sure how that helps you or the sport to enjoy the failure of Vlad Jr. Again it seems like a Richard move.
The kid is 20 and playing MLB ball. That doesn't happen often, and it's not just nepotism that got him to the spot. He earned it. He will be fine. Every player in MLB goes through hitless stretches. I guarantee that every team in the bigs would love to have Vlad Jr, including my favorite team the A's.
I've never seen a player take this much negative heat and I've watched lots of hate for Judge and Bryce. You negative jerks may have a point if he's 23 and still batting like this after a few seasons, but until then you're just being Richards. Stop making me defend Blue Jays.

Troll here. I got back into collecting in 2017 (like a lot of people), and the Vlad craze was in its early but already blossoming stages. I don't know why anyone would want to afford his cards now, and I think that is what a lot of reasonable people are 'mad' about. What has he done to garner this attention? Why is he priced at and almost surpassing Trout? From a non card side, I am already sick of this tub of lard... there was an article .. the top article on MLB.com yesterday about how he can make the Blue Jays sweep (a two game series I think.. so sweep come on) the Giants, and he went 0 for with a pair of strike outs.. so much for that. I just don't get why we have to anoint him as the greatest ever before he has even swung a bat in the majors? Why can't we just wait and see if he will be what people think he will be? Anyways that is what annoys me.. I guess that makes me a troll. 2 other funny articles that just show how stupid some of this 'NEXT BIG THING' idea is, when he was called up the article was projecting his next 10 years... 10 YEARS and he hadn't had 1 at bat.. btw if you did his next 10 years now he is out of the league in 2-3 .. and after he came up and sucked (call it struggling if you want but lets call a spade a spade he sucked.. look at Senzel, Riley, Huria and their first weeks they didn't "struggle") there was another article about who is the NEXT and possibly better Vlad? I think that is what people get annoyed at.. that most people ignore actual results and are too impatient to let some data come forward before analyzing and rewarding performance, it is all projection and hype these days. I know this makes me sound 100, but I am only 30 and I can't stand it. However, like I said in my last post it makes it SUPER easy to profit off of the overreaction nation, easy to sell high and buy low when people are over emotional and over react. FOMO=$$$$$

Yes a select few have sold. That doesn’t mean the market is strong for overall buying!

So what 10-12 Autos sold in the last week? And that’s strong?!? HAHAHAHAHAHA
Some cards will always sell of any player. That doesn’t define a strong market. You need help it seems.
You are making yourself look like a dumbass!
Why do you think in the BST you can’t find buyers for “great deals” on his Ref Auto at $1300 while people are asking $1200 for base. That’s not strong! You clearly have learning disabilities if you believe that to be true.
When cards are being bought at ask and above and are actually moving that defines a strong market. His is EXTREMELY STAGNANT right now and has tremendously slowed. It might not be time to jump ship. I’m not saying that. I’m just flat out telling you what the market is actually like. It’s extremely soft.

Of course they are. Plenty of the “experts” here paid up in hopes for a hot start and a quick flip. Now they are left praying to get out while the market has turned incredibly soft. 4 have sold in the past week while 20-40 others are sitting stagnant and praying somebody saves them. Which is highly unlikely to be the case with how things are going.
It’s sad anybody is trying to defend anything other than that

Yea man, it's just the same people over and over again. Nobody is gonna jump ship that has any idea what they are doing.
For starters, those people were buying base Gems at $2-400 so there is no risk of holding THIS ENTIRE SEASON. It's like last year with Acuna. Can stuff dip, sure, can it tank, no.
Second, he's so young and he just started playing. His 20 y/o struggle is still a BB every other game and a game where he blasted 2 HRs in his 1st 16.
As it warms up and he gets more MLB ABs, his numbers will come up. I imagine some tape measure shots in July and August.

I never got into Vlad. I could care less. But reality seems to make people holding more pissed off than anybody else. That’s when they all come running and say oh it’s Bc you missed out or lost. Wahhh.
It’s pieces of cardboard. I learned that a long time. The defensive ones are the ones who can’t admit the truth about how soft the market has flipped. Is he a sell? A bust? Who knows. I never said he was. I said his Autos are highly overpriced and the market has completely turned which is why there isn’t nearly as much action on his stuff. The market will either correct or he will show up and the market will continue upward. That’s the simple truth. Not sure why everybody is pissy pants here over cardboard
