Hold or Sell: Noah Syndergaard
 

Syndergaard's prices all obviously at an all time high right now. Is it time to sell?


Looking for opinions!

Sell IMO.

High walk rates, combined with a 6'6" frame. Looking at history, very few pitchers at that size have success. He is just too large to repeat his delivery with any expectation to lower his walks. Over ranked among the top 50 prospects IMO.

Scratch that, I was not looking at the correct numbers in regard to his walk rate. His size is still an issue to me though and at current prices, I would not hold.

Dude's a beast- his height is to his advantage..some of the top SP prospects, Giolito, Stephenson, i believe are all in the 6'4"+ range.

Power thrower, tons of K's. From what i recall last season (w/o looking it up), he only had one poor game where he got rocked. And unfortunaly it was his last regular season game. Possibly just tired from a long season.

I'd certainly hold. I know i am.

What about Wacha, Randy Johnson, and Lance Lynn?

Def a keeper for me right now. With the NY market backing him his cards have room to grow with another great season

At current prices I'd be selling and buying twice as many Giolito's. What would he have to do to substain a $60 value in the majors? I understand the NY market has a factor but Wheeler was regarded as a better pitcher and his don't bring that much anymore and he's not Matt Harvey (when healthy). I don't see a huge window for upside here. Giolito can be a top 10 overall prospect next year and double from current values. I just don't see the same for Syndergaard.

I wouldn't sell at this point. Believe me I'm a huge mets fan and I live in New York. Everyone around here loves this kid. Why not wait till he hits big leagues? I wouldn't be worried about a bad spring training. There going to give this kid every chance to get to the bigs.

Im keepin!

I just listed the only Syndergaard I own...could use the cash toward a nice Zunino or two.

Wheeler is no longer considered a prospect so naturally that kills values unless he pulls a CY season this year. Syndergaard prices can and will certainly bloat more with another dominant year as the hype train is in full steam. I think he'll surprise and become a serious contender for best pitcher in the minors. However I do agree that Lucas is a better investment right now

HOLD- he is in NY and the minute he gets called up, before he even throws a pitch, there will be a bump

SELL- he is in NY and the minute he gets called up, after he throws a pitch, value will be cut in half if he loses or doesn't throw a shutout.

EDIT: Out of all of the pitchers who have been called up over the years...How many have actually "gained value" from when they were a top prospect in the minors vs. how many have declined. You can probably count on 1 hand how many have increased. Play the odds and sell if you can make a profit now.

If you're not a fan, [B]SELL NOW[/B]..

Haha, that's a good one. Oh wait, you're serious?!? Is it auto'd? If so I'll gladly trade you every Zunino i own for your last Syndy!

Unfortunately it is not, but fortunately, it's numbered to 5, so hopefully I get a bite or two (I inflated the price to see what kind of offers I get). And I assume you're laughing because what kind of fool would trade a low-numbered Syndergaard for anything Zunino. Well, my friend, I am a Mariner fan, and my favorite player happens to be Zunino.

That's all that matters...if you're a fan I understand completely. If Needchapmans liked Syndergaard you could probably get some real nice Zuninos for it.

Ha ha ha...ain't that the truth!

I would hold. Maybe would sell around the time he gets called up

I'm a fan so I'm keeping my chrome autos..
Selling the sterling though. Every year I saw the same thing about sterling " why do I do buy this" LOL

100% correct

If i wasnt a huge mets fan (hence my username) i would sell all my Syndy's

He is definitley getting a lot of hype

Adam Rubin the mets pr guy and twitter guy is so funny abt syndy

More Noah Syndergaard stalking: pic.twitter.com/eB2NpFXvbC

Tried an artsy shot of Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz watching Noah Syndergaard. Think I pulled it off: pic.twitter.com/QoOXBBpKVE


Anyway, I had two refrac autos /500 and have sold one

I am selling like 25% and keeping the rest just b/c im a mets fan

Lets not forgot in the RA Dickey trade D'arnaud was the main piece but Syndy has a sick year last year

I think D'arnaud prices can rise A LOT

Hold at least until he gets called up, which should be this season. I don't see him imploding in the minors or anything that will cause his prices to drop significantly.

Loved what i say again today!!!

I'm selling now without hesitation

Hold absolutely. Earliest I would sell would be when he gets called up but being a Mets home, I would possibly wait until next year.

By the way, Adam Rubin is a beat reporter not the PR guy.
