“This makes Franco laugh. Thousands of dollars for a shiny piece of cardboard on which he scribbled "W. Franco."

Love it

6th grade? Jeez

The next super prospect! Better get in now peeps!

[Master Shake]

That does it for me. When I have a kid, he's not going to school. He's going straight to the ball field as soon as he can walk. He don't need an education. He just needs to learn how to hit 500 foot dingers.

How do I even start to get in now? Prices are so high right now, even for non auto stuff.

Scared money don’t make money. He’s cheap in comparison to where his stuff will be next year. Already the number one prospect when you take the guys in the bigs off the list(eloy, vlad and Tatis). Just turned 18 a few months ago.

Fair enough.

I bought a leaf auto for $20 last week.

Thanks for posting!

Anyone holding Bowman boxes for investment? Thoughts?

There’s a lot of ppl holding Bowman Megas.

[lauriontj]

How about just regular Bowman?

If I could afford to buy his BC auto refractors I would go for it. He's a five-tool 18 year-old hitting machine making mince meat out of Midwest league pitching.

I got rid of 90% of my Vlad supply to invest in Wander. We’ll see what happens....

Up until last week I think he had more SBs than Ks!

Ok, so just did a search for Wander on MILB and there are two other Wander's and apparently all three are brothers? If they all make the show that could be very confusing.

Didn’t know he was related to the Aybers, baseball is in his blood

This makes me think about picking up a couple of his auto's now, even if they are really high in comparison to other players. But if he finishes the year strong, he will definitely be the #1 prospect next year barring something else happening I imagine so his prices will only increase.

if you have deep pockets its a likely money maker but % wise there are so many better guys to buy

Anyone else notice in the article that has a kid? If the kid is 9 months old now, he very well could have been 16 when his girl got pregnant. It's a noble cause to play for Wander Samuel Javier Jr but not the smartest move to have a child that young.

Mine is 3 and teaching him to throw lefty. That's a guaranteed 500k today!

Sounds like his 18 is older than most peoples 25.

This is actually a pretty bad idea. While it seems like any halfway decent LHP can make a roster, this pales in comparison to shutting off 2b/3b/ss and especially catcher as a pathway to The Show. If you were really serious about giving a kid the best shot, buy him some shin guards and a chest protector and teach him to throw a knuckleball. What you really want is RH THrow, LH Hit.

:: Pictures a catcher throwing knuckleballs to second ::

Seriously though, agree with catcher. Slap a chest protector on him and chuck balls at his chest randomly to keep him alert.

This was me growing up. Threw right handed, hit left handed. Although, I was a high power, low average guy. Who would have thought I was ahead of my time?
