If he does, that’s awesome and I’ll be rooting for him. I just think there was WAY too much hype for a 3 tool player to live up to.
He was and still is outselling all the MVP's of the last 10-15 years except for Mike Trout. There has to be a correction somewhere along the line.

People aren't hoping he fails. People are laughing at the idiots who spent a ton of money on him and stand to lose. That doesn't mean anybody wants to see him be horrendous
Anyone that purchased any of his cards from late 2016 - late 2018 is not an idiot. And the jury is still out for anyone that purchased his cards in 2019.
I think idiots invest in those who have tommy john surgery. Especially players coming from a country with a history of arm troubles and poor pitching mechanics.

If you invested in his cards in 2019 the odds are HIGHLY against you that you will ever make money on them... It is 2019 so that is where we are at.

You seem upset. I am sorry he is off to a horrendous start. But that is the situation at hand

You must be referring to my avatar? I pulled that out of 1 box so no "investment" there. Thanks ! A dual threat pitcher/hitter with a following 5x as wide that brought baseball to a wider viewing overseas vs a 300 pound kid who'd rather eat cheeseburgers than hit the baseball seems a little better

Thanks! I do enjoy the card

Not all of us do this to make money and come off as a crybaby b/c someone is playing extremely poorly and overvalued by a major amount! Your true colors are coming out

You’re hilarious. Big difference between crying and proving that you’re the worst poster in this entire forum.

Maybe it's been mentioned in one of the 1,839 pages but I just saw this on MLB, so it's definitely worth noting:

Quote:
Thirteen games into his career, the hype seems to have affected Guerrero. No, that’s not a comment on how he’s approached his arrival. It’s a comment on how opposing pitchers have approached him. They knew from day one not to give the kid anything to hit and it’s led to, as of entering play Sunday, Guerrero getting the lowest percentage of pitches in the zone of any player in the Majors with at least 40 plate appearances this season.

Says the person whining b/c people are saying his Autos are priced insanely high and his horrendous performance is leading to a quick decline!

Awww

Maybe you should eat a cheeseburger also! It helps to ease the pain

An 80 hit tool wouldn’t swing at junk outside the zone. He has a sub .300 OBP

For comparison, Judge dealt with the same thing an had an OBP well for .400

100% correct. Just forgot to include that there is a 5 year gap between their ages during their rookie seasons (20 vs 25). But you are right. How’s rehab going?

Rehabs coming along fine, what will happen sooner Vladdy's first home run or Judges return.

Well if this baseball thing doesn’t work out he could always have a professional career in competitive eating. I believe they have their own league and everything. If they play their cards right I’m sure they can even have some liberal argue for them that they’re “athletes”

He was 2 for 2 with 2 walks the other day. He's getting more selective, which will lead to getting better pitches. His power will come.

He's going to need to be selective as with no protection in the lineup he will not get too many decent pitches.
