So much time spent trying to figure out print runs when it just doesn't matter.

Haha! Its a hobby, right?!? Which means time and resources doing wasteful things...

Honestly I enjoy the analytical part of this hobby. Whether it is understanding the players or the market.

Does it matter? Maybe not. But hopefully it is fun for some folks on here... probably not all, of course, but at least some

That's good stuff. I also wish we could download the PSA pop report to include submission dates.

The Trouts probably weren't submitted immediately after release like Soto was. At least in not the same quantities. That could be suppressing the volume submitted as they had more time to get banged around in boxes. Once it came time to submit, many we're slightly damaged and the owners sold raw. I remember Houdini mentioning he used Trouts as packing material around release time.

Exactly. One could also counter argue higher print runs meaning there are more buyers now, which means more demand. As long as supply is running in line with demand, price shouldn't be too affected, right?

i could see Trouts US175 being used as packing material. they were about 50 cents at release

Not a Soto collector but found myself grabbing 2 separate Heritage 502 PSA 10s tonight for what felt like a good price on eBay. Less than $20 (each) before shipping. Seems on the low end to me?

Scary, because MLB pitchers are smart to this... if they stop sending as many fastballs, what happens to his output?

This one caught my eye, too, and I haven't had folks react to it: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/batted...-rookie-class/

It suggested vs. his top RC peers in 2018, that his quality of contact, barrells/PA, and exit velocity lagged pretty significantly.

I do have this underlying worry that we are hyping into a sophomore slump

OF COURSE... with all that said, I'm still creating a nice stash, hoping I'm wrong. I don't want to be like all those folks who had questions about Trout's sustainability back in 2011/2012.

I saw this one yesterday. As noted in the article though, the thing about Juan is he has a great eye for identifying pitches, makes the adjustments, continues to excel at every level. It’s early and he’s young, but if he can handle the pressure, he can be the great Juan

It’s game over for the league once he can consistently handle breaking balls. I watched most of his games last year. That was his one weakness. He’d get embarrassed at times. But it sounds like he’s put a lot of work in this offseason. Can’t wait to see this year play out.

People have also been saying that the shift would be dead if professional hitters would just hit the ball where the fielders aren't. Yet here we are.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that pitchers assuredly already realized he crushes fastballs, yet they're still going to throw them like idiots.

Chicks...and card collectors/investors...still dig the long ball...slight edge to Acuna lol...but Soto is no slouch either.
