There really aren't that many guys with sub-80s OPS+ that magically turn it around to HOF careers. I can't find any HOF hitter that would equal Kelenic's first two seasons of awfulness. He'll be a historic turnaround and very much the exception rather than another in a long list of guys that have turned things around if he keeps things up. Some guys go from average, or slightly below average, to great, but almost none go from awful to great. FWIW, I think he will continue to do well and hope he does and will be that exception that will keep people investing in prospects that should be considered busts for a good long while.

looking for comps as usual. the kid is in his very early 20s. Not one of you i guarantee has ever played a game above HS. thrown into the fire and failed. cant think of many that have struggled not only physically but he was clearly struggling mentally. when doubt seeps in you get frozen. none of your abilities play. im glad he is succeeding, i dont know the future for him but im not counting him out over his first two seasons.

Allegedly, Steve Finley kicks around on these boards.

if you are insinuating that you have, then i would hope that you would know the game well enough not to throw the baby out with the bathwater that was kelenics first two years.

Got offered Soto for kelenick in one of my fantasy leagues. Easy pass

He’s hitting 3rd tonight.

He should be hitting 3. But hopefully pressure does not get to him

I did so that blows that comment out. I know for a fact there are many others on here that did as well.
To your other point, you’re right.
Alot of these guys come in having played years of high level travel ball where they were young studs, who translates into HS studs and either went to college as big time prospects or minors out if HS, and had little to no struggle. The majors is a whole other animal. MLB pitching is perhaps the hardest opponent to face in any pro sport. The fact that these hitters can do what they against them is incredible and for any hitter to have struggled the way Kelenic did and come back after adjusting is awesome. Will he be a HOF? Who cares it’s just fun watching young players come back and overcome adversity. We’ve seen too many “can’t miss” Bowman $tuds turn into duds. Hope he keeps it up.

I’m selling a few (a few) at the moment but will hold onto most of what I bought over past few months. Definitely keeping this one for awhile.

I’ll probably end up selling this too, but for now would like to think I’ll hold on to it. He was my last big prospecting venture. It worked out well too. Never found the right card for the right price during the dip for how he was playing, unfortunately.

Very cool card!

Should’ve posted this that came in a few days ago but kept forgetting to. Took less than 10 days from pulling the redemption to getting this in my hands. I guess Topps did have a year to get the redemptions back though.

well ride was nice but looks like it's over.

Water Cooler - 1

Mariners placed OF Jarred Kelenic on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left foot.

It was an avoidable situation, as Kelenic reportedly suffered the injury kicking the water cooler after striking out on Wednesday. The lapse in judgment could end his season, though there’s no clear timetable for his return just yet.

Water coolers have sent so many players to the IL over the years. If I was a manager, I would be tempted to ban them from the dug out. I could also ask my players to not behave like pouty children, but we all know that’s asking too much.

Congrats to everyone who sold in April!

Crazy to think Juan Soto is only a year older than Kelenic.

Didn't Devin Williams break his hand and miss the playoffs by punching the dugout just before the end of the season? That all seems forgiven now.
