Arenado is heating up!

[jumbogorilla]

The press is hyping him up too much! I can't buy as many as I'd like...:(

[metsplaya123]

U just hyped him up...

[Doublexthebeast]

U just hyped him up...

That made me laugh for some reason.


Arenado is no longer a hidden gem. He is looking like a big time player. I will make a bold prediction and say he leads all of MLB in doubles this year. He should be a 25 homerun guy also. Dude plays a mean third base on top of his batting skills.

[Bretsky]

Good I have him on my fantasy team. Maybe I will have to grab a BC of him as well.

[cdahlk2001]

I have a blue Tc auto and a sapphire base Rc I'd sell ya. Make an offer.

[Doublexthebeast]

Good I have him on my fantasy team. Maybe I will have to grab a BC of him as well.

I have him in my keeper league in the second year. I think he was around a 12th round pick. His 2010 chrome autos are selling really well right now. I have a '13 draft orange refractor at bgs right now that popped this week and got a 9.5.

[trixstar]

Don't worry when he busts you'll be able to pick up more.

Colorado's player's are generally not praised for offense due to the fact they could be purly a result of Coors.

Just looked up some finished BC auctions of his, looks like the base and refractors are up 60-80% in the past month.

Exactly! Even if he starts hot this will always come up.

[Sdog77]

Very good point. But I think being it's a small market for baseball has more to do with it. I mean, for 1 he's not hitting at Coors in spring training and 2, nobody has ever bashed a Bo-sox player for hitting in a park that is barely over 300 ft. down both lines.

Yeah he just hit is 3rd HR....in SF

[Sdog77]

Kid is definitely on the rise!

[duwal]

Yeah he just hit is 3rd HR....in SF


And he has power outside of Coors to hit 12-15 homers in a season. All everyone is saying is that he would be a far less hitter statistically if he didn't have any games played at Coors. Even the great ones like Todd Helton, Larry Walker, Dante Bichette, Carlos Gonzalez, etc are just not nearly the hitters people think because of their Coors stats

[StraWMyerS]

Coors doesn't do much for batting avg, aside from the 8-12 deep fly outs that become HRs.

I think performance boosts are more exaggerated due to confidence being higher for hitters and lower for pitchers in Denver. Half of success is 90% mental.

3-5 with 2HR today

Nolan's been playing at 110% lately. Glad to see the Rockies trying after a bad start to the month.

[bankdawg]

somehow he's behind David Wright in All Star votes for 3rd basemen. What a joke that is.

[cyndeeg3]

I didn't have the patience and dumped him WAY too early - that boy good

[JohnnyG711]

I'm a Mets fan and I agree. The All Star game is a popularity contest and always will be unless they change the way players are selected.

[dasiegel]

i called that this guy would break out in the 2015 prediction thread. everyone said he already did last year but i knew there was another level with this guy, straight beast!

[bankdawg]

I'm a Mets fan and I agree. The All Star game is a popularity contest and always will be unless they change the way players are selected.

something needs to change if they still want the game to be significant (determining HF advantage in WS) because the current best players need to decide the outcome.

[nflfans4ever]

10 of his 12 HR's are on the road....No Coors Field excuse please,he's a damn good hitter !

[redsraysbball21]

Glad he's playing well! Have 9 bowman chrome autos that I'm trying to unload, hoping he can make the all star game and keep up his already impressive season. Although defense does nothing for card values, definitely one of the top (if not the top) defensive 3rd basemen in the game. Fun to watch on both sides

[ILOVEBEER]

10 of his 12 HR's are on the road....No Coors Field excuse please,he's a damn good hitter !

The entire month of May was horrible weather wise here in Denver. It was cold and a game even got postponed for snow. Now it's 90 degrees out. I have a feeling he will hit a few out this next homestand.

[corockies]

It's amazing how well the Rockies have played the past week (Arenado especially). That bad weather month of May was the weirdest month of weather I've ever seen in CO and I've lived here since 1979. It really affected the team as a whole. The Rockies postponed 4 games last month for bad weather. And another 4-5 of the ones they did play should of been postponed.

[nflfans4ever]

Wow another HR...#13 !

[peterose4hof]

Homered in 3 straight games.

So glad I "reached" a little and drafted this guy early in Fantasy.

Nolan and Puig debuted around the same time. Puig has slowly declined from 2013 and Nolan is getting much, much better. Their prices don't even come close. It's a popularity contest.

Check out the National league stats and see where Nolan stands compared to the other fan favorites. From a hobby standpoint, he is underrated for sure.

It sure is. That is why I am stocking up on Arenado because once he gets the recognition he deserves his prices will be a lot higher.

[sportcardtheory]

I new he would turn out good! But why is Manny Machado stuff worth a lot more??????????????????????????????????

Probably just a bigger market (for an annually contending team) for Manny, Manny is about a year younger, Manny has much better speed numbers (he can steal bases, Arenado can't), the Coors affect for Arenado (talking only about perception), Machado walks more. They are fairly even in the hitting department and Machado has him in quite a few other categories. The only glaring thing Arenado has on Manny is power numbers with a 30+ edge in slugging percentage. Both are really good and will be fun to watch mature together as elite defensive 3rd basemen with pop in their bats.

[eliseomo]

Arenado has been much better than Puig, here are the numbers since the start of 2014:

Puig - G-175, Avg- .298, R-104, HR-19, RBI- 79, SB-11, WAR-6.1, No GG
Arenado - G-179, Avg- .287, R-99, HR-37, RBI - 119, SB-2, WAR-7.6, 2014 GG

His prices are down due to being in Colorado and Puig in LA.

[CubsFanInTX]

Was at the game last night, both were monster shots. Fun to watch.

[StraWMyerS]

Arenado has pretty much always been an RBI machine. He also plays 3rd base at an elite level. What more can you ask for?

[dasiegel]

Does he make the ASG?

[nflfans4ever]

Does he make the ASG?

Yes not even close

[Bhenry4]

I new he would turn out good! But why is Manny Machado stuff worth a lot more??????????????????????????????????

Ha, cause the Rockies have four total fans. If you pull a 1/1 of Tulo or Cargo, it doesn't even pay for the box in which it was pulled. We had a face of the franchise vote, and not a single person could think of one Rockies fan. It's the same reason that Goldschmidt cards go for the same price as David Wright.

What's unfortunate is most people in this hobby just follow-the-leader. Most collectors just want more money and a nice return on a box they bought. They don't care about most of what they pull, just the heavy-hitters. That, or trying to follow single A ball, hoping to strike it rich collecting some guy who will never hit in the majors. It shouldn't be what city a player plays in at all.

[bankdawg]

6 HR last 5 games

[bedot]

I looked at Arenado's stat line this morning. His BABIP is incredibly low. I'd be curious to see his "hard hit" percentage which would suggest whether that BABIP should spike to normal levels or not. I mean, he is slugging over .600 which is weird, but exceptional given that BABIP.

It's scary that this kid could get MUCH better at hitting baseballs. lol

[ILOVEBEER]

Two more HRs last night. Over half of them have come on the road so it's not a Coor's Field thing. Good thing the Rockies have hitting because the pitching is atrocious at times.

He is absolutely on fire. The best thing is that it's just now hearing up in Colorado. I don't know his splits but he has done a considerable about of damage on the road.

[phisouza33]

how much longer is he stuck in Colorado?

Ha, cause the Rockies have four total fans. If you pull a 1/1 of Tulo or Cargo, it doesn't even pay for the box in which it was pulled. We had a face of the franchise vote, and not a single person could think of one Rockies fan. It's the same reason that Goldschmidt cards go for the same price as David Wright.

What? It must pain you to know that the Rockies routinely have higher attendance than the Orioles do (which is not saying much for either team as they are both low). I didn't even know that the Orioles had a fanbase when I lived in northern Virginia for a few years. Revenues of the two teams are also similar, but again nothing to brag about.

Just because there may not be a lot of Rockies fans on this one specific board doesn't mean they don't exist.

I think Machado came up with a lot more hype and at a very young age. When I think of Machado, I just think of a guy who throws bats at people. Arenado is straight beasting and plays the game right.

Last time I checked both the Orioles and Rockies were top 10 teams in attendance overall.

The good attendance problem is huge for the Rockies because the Monforts (owners of the Rockies) don't try hard enough to field a winning team. People go to Coors Field more for the atmosphere and sunshine than they do for the baseball game - it's sad. Why build a winner when the ticket revenue is always gonna be there?

There are also a lot of fans from other teams in Denver. I've spent more than a year up here for work and recently moved here. I'm a Cubs fan, but have gone to close to 20 games over the last year or year and half. Always a lot of away team Jerseys.

Currently for the 2015 season the Rockies are 14th in attendance and the Os are 18th.

What's unfortunate is most people in this hobby just follow-the-leader. Most collectors just want more money and a nice return on a box they bought. They don't care about most of what they pull, just the heavy-hitters. That, or trying to follow single A ball, hoping to strike it rich collecting some guy who will never hit in the majors. It shouldn't be what city a player plays in at all.

You do realize most people have a favorite team, and their favorite player is typically, on that team. There's only two factors that determine anythings value - Supply, and Demand. If not many people like the team, then not many like the player, and not many want his cards. Thus lowering his demand, which lowers the value.

I wouldn't consider the Houston Astros to have a huge fan base. They were horrible for a long time and I doubt many people were calling themselves Astros fans, but yet a few prospects were selling like crazy. Why? They were hyped up, so other collectors caught on and bought and drove up prices.

I think Nolan was over-looked when he was a prospect. He came into the league and people doubted him. I think a lot has to do with him playing for the Rockies. It's almost like people admit he is good, but won't collect him because he is on the Rockies. They are playing bad, in turn, collectors can't profit off Nolan's cards if they start buying now because the payoff isn't there. He wasn't like a Springer or Correa type prospect. No one that I know of showing off their 75+ card BGS submission of Arenado cards.

The desire to collect Arenado right now isn't that attractive for most. Just my opinion.

[ILOVEBEER]

The thing I like is Nolan hasn't signed since 2013. Not sure if it's by choice, but I'd imagine Topps/Panini would want him signing. I've stuck to inserts/parallels. His stuff is holding value very well.

[Doublexthebeast]

He is such an underrated player. Him being in Colorado always gives people an excuse to attribute that to his numbers.....which does help. But at the end of the day he is an amazing player. Machado and Bryant get more love for young third basemen but Arenado is right there in my opinion. Machado and Arenado are the best on defense in the league at third IMO and pretty even on offense. Bryant is definitely below them defensively but has more power.....although I would argue that both Machado and Arenado have closed the gap by their power outputs from last year.

Severely underrated/overlooked defensive player. And an absolute monster offensively. I know people will say...'well, he plays in Coors,' but he only had 3 more homers at home vs. away last year. His bat is lethal.

Yes, the Coors Field argument is invalid. He can hit anywhere.

Yes, the Coors Field argument is invalid. He can hit anywhere.

No. He can hit home runs anywhere. A 60 point drop between home and away average says otherwise besides power. At least it isn't as extreme as Gonzalez though.

Those power alleys in Coors help everyone that hits there. I bet we see an improved average on the road this year. He looks really confident and is making good contact no matter the park. He's even shown a little more patience this year which would make him an extremely tough out.

6 HR 16 RBi so far on the young season...

Kinda reminds me of the stats of some other guy he had similar stats to last season, Bryce Harper - 6 HR 15 RBI so far!

In my keeper league(year 3), I have Trout, Arenado, Rizzo, JD Martinez, and Adam Jones. I got Rizzo and Arenado in the original draft in 7th and 8th rounds. They have turned into some studs. I got JD Martinez pretty cheap when he went to Detroit and have had him ever since. Mix that with Corey Seager and Dee Gordon, you get a pretty darn good team :)!

I broke it down earlier in the last page. Doesn't mean he isn't still really good player away from Coors (he is). But his numbers are definitely inflated, much like Tulo's were.

I actually find the splits to be more even, you play better at home. It's not a huge difference, he has 2 more HR's at home than away. Also has 28 hits at home AND away.

Yeah, can't say Coors Field is the reason he's one of the best, if not the best, defensive player in the game.

Imagine an infield with both him and Simmons on the left side...

Coors inflates numbers a ton. This is why you use wRC+, best hitting stat out there, adjusts for park and properly weighs OBP/Slugging.

Even isn't the word I should have used but it's not nearly as bad as you're trying to make it out to be.

You act like he is just an awful Mendoza line hitter away, which he's not. He's obviously better at home but give me a break. It's not like there is this massive difference between home and away. The way you talk is as if he hits .200/ 8 HR/ 30 RBI's a season away and .350/ 30 HR/ 70 RBI's at home. Yes, you are most definitely trying to make this argument inflated more than it is.

Exactly. I'm not sure what the argument is here. Obviously Arenado has better stats at Coors, but what Rockie hitter doesn't? He's benefited from it, as many have, but him being outside of Coors does not make him any less elite.

Machado and Bogaerts are better hitters at home. KB is a far better hitter away. Wouldn't have even had known that had I not looked it up.

So what?

Some see the glass as half full, some see it as half empty. Dodgers Stadium, Petco and AT&T park are not considered hitter friendly. May be that's why his away stats are not better. Who knows.

Anyone know what box you can buy to possibly get a 2010 Nolan Arenado Bowman Chrome auto? There are like three different versions and none of them list as Arenado on the checklist on cardboard connection... unless my eyes deceived me.

His autograph card is #BCP91, should be in 2010 Bowman.

2010 Bowman - BaseballCardPedia.com (http://baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/2010_Bowman)

As far as I know his superfractor autograph hasn't surfaced.

I can say with 100% certainty it has surfaced. I had a chance to buy it for $900 4 years ago and was debating it. It sold. Yes, I know it's probably worth over $10k+ now. Biggest regret I have in this hobby.

[marl1220]

Again, false.

I have said 2 different times in this exact thread (even when making these points) that Arenado is still really good away from home. He just isn't great (offensively).

I agree.

Avg is .045 pts higher at home
OBP is .055 pts higher at home
SLG is .143 pts higher at home
OPS is .201 pts higher at home

The away numbers aren't bad, but no where near his home numbers.

[jumbogorilla]

Even counting the Coors Disparity for his offensive game, he plays Golden Glove 3rd base day in and day out. Arenado for President.

[Doublexthebeast]

He's a really really good player no matter where he plays. I really like his intensity this year. He seems like he is starting to become more of a leader and wants to win.

[ILOVEBEER]

Everybody making a big deal about everybody. Nolan has two homers today!

[razorsharp]

Yes, the Coors Field argument is invalid. He can hit anywhere.

You still believe this?

OPS at Coors- 1.052
OPS on the road- .788

No player in baseball has benefited more from playing at home this season than Arenado. I argued this even before this season. His numbers have always been insanely inflated at home. This year it's borderline ridiculous.

yea that is a pretty massive difference!!

at home he is like miguel cabrera(tigs fan so just using his slash line and comparing)

on road he is like justin upton? lol...

i remember last season(it might even be in this thread...i dont know) people brought up K.bryant and his great home numbers and lousy on road during his rookie year...he had like 21/5 hr split....this year he completely flipped and has been pretty crappy at home and been a beast on the road...its really weird!!

His OPS splits last year weren't really too bad. You have to consider that a lot of players tend to play a bit better at home, regardless of what team they're on.

2015
OPS at Coors - .960
OPS on the road - .835

And the year before that?
.928 OPS at Coors
.713 OPS on the road

And the year before that?
.794 OPS at Coors
.619 OPS on the road

He is a great player (He is amazing with the glove) but his numbers are so inflated offensively by playing in Colorado I don't consider him a great hitter. His offensive numbers need to be taken into context.

That sounds more like the stats of an improving player, not proof of a continued disparity. You're not putting the numbers in proper context.

2013 - .793 vs .619
2014 - .928 vs .713
2015 - .960 vs .835 (.122 improvement away...that's HUGE)
2016 - 1.052 vs .789

He's not hitting as well as he did last year as a whole (177 hits last year, 120 hits this year so far), but the season's far from over.

[Ottomatic]

Coors inflates numbers, you have to adjust. That's why I like a stat like wRC+ which adjusts for park.

He has had 1 season where he has an OPS above .800 away from Coors. He's hitting better this year then he did last year. He's just not doing any of it on the road.

[luse301]

There seems to be an awful lot of bashing ITT to take away what he's done so far in his career. There's something to be said for not having to travel, sleeping in your own bed, having sex with your significant other etc. The Golden State Warriors won 54 straight home games where the dimensions of the court are no different home/away. Of course players/teams do better at home.

Most of us won't even go to the bathroom without home field advantage. :D

Yup everybody plays better at home. You still have to adjust for Coors.

He's hitting better at home, not away, like you said. You keep twisting your words to sound like you alone make sense, but we're just saying the same thing. He's not hitting as good as last year.

Btw, Giancarlo Stanton hit 1.022 home and .682 away in 2013. Takes nothing away from his prestige as a hitter.

[ILOVEBEER]

Nolan's been hitting like crazy the last week. Plus he's been signing again. His Strata cards look nice.

[ILOVEBEER]

Walkoff homer for the win and cycle. Judge ain't doing that!

I doubt those change hands all that often, esp. lately.

I pulled all my Arenado RC from various boxes over the last few days. From Update I have the pink /50 and four retail parallels. From Chrome I have the Purple retail. And still a box of '13 TC to open....

would appreciate word on what you might find out on the Sapphire

I'm almost certain I've seen one a few months back that sold for over $200. That's kind of why I was asking on here, because that one on ebay was the only other one I have ever seen.

I might just do that :)

I bought about 15 to 20 cases of this product. Arenado was not an ssp but definitely an sp. If I had to guess I'd say around 100. I actually pulled three of the red ink redemption's and got ones numbered 1, 2, and 3.
