Alright, sounds good to me. Still new to the baseball game. Thanks for the insight.

For comparison, last year Juan Soto went up about 4.25x from Nov. 2017-Nov. 2018.

His cards started in the same ballpark as Yordan and he was similarly placed on my personal prospect list.

I think Yordan is already up about that much so far this year.

The market is up at least 30% overall since then. I'll know more in July when I re-do my price guide.

I'm very interested in your results, I hope you share. I'll begin to compile my own in the future.

He got "too cheap" over the past couple days. Just snagged a Poopini auto earlier today for the lulz.

I had three BB's autos from my 2018 cases and sold as a lot for $15. Had no idea.

This guys HR consistency is amazing.

Chaysr20 06-21-2019 09:51 AM

Smooth lefty swing, impressive plate discipline, very level headed, crazy power...If he can adapt as pitchers learn how to throw to him, he has amazing potential.

[QUOTE=bwalter1;14772242]Roy front runner? Not gonna happen.[/QUOTE]

I have a feeling we will be revisiting this.

1.184 OPS @ AAA
1.268 OPS @ ML through his first 9

He is averaging a HR every 7 ab's. The plate discipline and control of the K zone is a very uncommon trait for an elite HR hitter of this nature. His batted ball numbers are downright scary and elite. Not to mention the ballpark he plays in, lineup protection etc.. It's a freakish combination of factors.

I just wouldn't rule it out based on the June call up and (recent) history backs that.

It’s gonna get more fun when Springer comes back next week (hopefully).

Springer CF
Altuve 2B
Bregman SS
Alvarez DH
Brantley LF
Gurriel 3B
White 1B
Chirinos C
Reddick RF

Have fun pitching around him.

Geez that’s a big comp.

I’m not good at comp game.

I kind of like Delgado comp. is Freddie Freeman with more power but less hit tool?

KhalDrogo 06-23-2019 02:23 PM

BOOM!!!

Biggest mistake I've made here was taking Luis Garcia over Yordan in a BC break last year. I'm too ashamed to go look back, but I'm pretty sure he hit a blue, purple, refractor, and base in 10 cases.

Absolutely on Fiyahhh! 2 R Bomb!
