I've been on quite a 1/1 kick with some of my favorite players. Not the most valuable or sought after, but I couldn't pass this one up as a RC 1/1 already in a gem mint holder.

‘Alex Verdugo may never escape the shadow of Mookie Betts, but he’s already proven he deserves better’

Nice little write up on mlb.com re: Verdugo

https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-standouts-under-the-radar

“Well, well, well, look who’s off to a better start than Mookie Betts. All right, so obviously you’d rather have Betts, but Verdugo sure is looking like the star the Red Sox were betting on him being, with an OPS above .900. He has improved on his excellent 2020 and has even added a little bit more power. He’s also holding up defensively, important considering J.D. Martinez has that DH slot booked for the next few years. It was always going to be tough for Verdugo to be The Mookie Replacement. But he’s more than holding his own right now.”

Verdugo playing better than Mookie....all he ever needed on the Dodgers was more AB to shine brighter. Now we can see the light.

Spot on: MLB.com discussing how Verdugo is 12th highest fWAR in AL and outperforming Betts so far this season

Not a bad return on the Betts trade

As a Dodgers fan... Yes! I was so frustrated that they never appreciated his talent and potential. The guy is also an inspiration to his teammates. He makes the game fun.

Loving this guy. Not even a full year older than the crop of tier-1 talents. Clear that his teammates love him too

There is nothing sexier in baseball than a lefty going opposite field over the Monstah.

I hope so. I started picking up low end stuff of his and I really enjoy watching him play. Love the way he plays the game. This is also tough to say as I am a Twins fan.

It’s ok to like players on other teams

I am a big Arraez fan. Have a large collection of his RC, even though the Red Sox are my primary team.
