Yordan Alvarez
 

Imagine this guy's prices if he had 25% the hype of Vlad Jr.

All he's doing so far this year in AAA is:

11 HR's in 20 games
.361 Avg (with only a .326 BABIP)
.459 obp (14% walk rate)
.903 Slugging
1.362 OPS

He's only 21. He looks more to me like the guy to invest in.

His raw 1st auto bases are still in the mid $100s so folks know what's up

His cards in 19 Bowman hardly have any value. Perhaps bc it doesn’t have the 1st Chrome designation? Obviously had autos prior to, but these are his first non-auto bowman cards.

never heard of him. hope he makes it

Do you follow the MiLB daily threads? He's averaging about 1 HR per thread lol

NICE!

no i dont. for the most part i dont collect minor league cards (i own some, who doesnt?)

I still can't believe he was traded for Josh Fields. But I don't want to get too excited though. Tucker was great but struggled when he was called up. Tyler White better step up or his DH and MLB roster spot could be gone.

Base auto sold for 175 earlier today! I’ve got a blue auto and trying to decide if I hold or not

Bought 2 gold autos before season happy I did.

My days of winning him in eBay 2019 Bowman group breaks are dwindling due to lack of funds, and they're going up a little. It's a steal though. $10-12 per case roughly, and he's in Top 100, Sterling, 30th, and Ready for The Show. Lots of chances to hit parallels. Lots of probability that prices spike.

We here know all about him, as in player drafts and whatnot in the group breaks, he comes in just after Beer, generally speaking.

FWIW, William Contreras and Sandro Fabian are the same as Alvarez, with this being their first non-auto.

Alvarez is thicker and more chiseled than Judge but not nearly as tall.

I already sold a 1st chrome base gem auto. I'm waiting for someone to pounce on the refractor. ETA REFRACTOR SOLD.

Theyll pick up. Bellinger 2016 chrome were basically worthless in 2016. Then people realized it was his first chrome. Same with Soto in 2017 Chrome. I know im grabbing Yordan stuff while its reasonable!

Why was Yordan left out of the base set? Late add?

Not on 40 man. Come one Astro’s!

2 more doubles so far today...

PCL, watch out!

BA up to .402. with a 1.421 OPS in AAA :eek:

Last night a ONE case player break went for $42 on eBay....and I had the option of keeping it for $12 after last week and stupidly didn't. So it's fair to say the hype in building for 2019 stuff, although it may just pockets of hype.

Won this in a break early last week. I was going to sell this on the cheap. Not anymore.

These are at PSA, hopefully I can get a couple 10's. I imagine the left one will be a 9 or less because of centering

Josh Fields........wow! I’m still in disbelief that is all the Astros sent in return for him!
