People saying his hobby status is dead are all holding on to Bichette, Vlad, Robert, etc.
i remember for about 5-6 years people kept saying Correa was still young enough to maintain the hype in the hobby. Of course the scandal with Houston was his death nail, but people held out hope he’d fulfill the hobby prophecy bestowed on him.

NO ONE saw Judge coming at 26 and doing what he has done. No one. This site particular writes off any prospect or rookie debuting post 25 as hobby lepers. It’s ludicrous. I agree with another post that said if Lawlar comes back even at 24 and is a stud, he will definitely create hobby frenzy.

Many “big” hobby names have peaks and valleys the past decade. People now are so easy to let go of Bobby Witt Jr. yet hype for Caglione is off the charts and the kid hasn’t seen MLB pitchers yet.
There are lots of minor league HOFers.
