People are already paying attention - this is the longest streak in a few years. They just interrupted my Yankee game broadcast in NYC to show Uggla's hit - completely unrelated to New York, American League, Division Rivalry, etc. People are paying lots of attention now. I think 30 games was...
Despite the K's, he's still the #44 overall player in fantasy baseball, which is a good surrogate for his overall value to his team.
On his current pace, his final numbers will look like this:
.253, 21 HR, 40 SB, 110 Runs, 55 RBI, 210 K's, .329 OBP and .726 OPS
And one of just 3 players in...
He's already served 25 of the 50 games, he'll be back by the end of July - not a huge deal long-term IMO. That said, I don't own any of his cards, and could frankly care less. If it's indeed marijuana as cited above, it's not a huge deal in the long run.
EDIT: it was a synthetic marijuana -...
It's not "asking price" dependent but rather market price dependent.
I know plenty of sellers, myself included, who list BIN prices w/ BO pretty close to market value of previous auctions, or even less - just because we have the best offer feature active doesn't automatically mean 50%...
The guy who hit .300 w/ 30 XBH and 20 SB in 100 games in his rookie debut as a 21-22 year old? All of the "make-up" issues w/ him were New York hyperbole as the second he got a change of scenery all anyone did was rave about his work ethic and make-up. The Yankees would give anything to have...
Re: Milb Performances - 5/11
Bryce is a man among boys in the SAL league. Funny part is he is actually the boy of the league, playing against men on average 3.5 years older than him. Unreal.
At least I had a couple victories to offset those losses:

Re: ~Weekly MLB Top-10 Hot Player List~
Zobrist had 8 RBI today, and Smoak had an RBI double, I don't know what else to tell you - the stats you're looking at might not be updated ...?
Re: ~Weekly MLB Top-10 Hot Player List~
Ben Zobrist has 16 RBI and 3 HR in his last 4 games, I think he deserves mention.
Justin Smoak also - 3 HR and 9 RBI the last 4 days.
Amen! People go through high school, college, and higher education to put themselves in the best positions to secure a good job and make a good living. Elite pro athletes are not normal people - their job and living comes from their ability to play their sport at a high level - it is comparing...
I'd still rather have his 2002 Bowman Chrome stuff, though it lacks the autos. 4 years is a huge difference. And it's not like we're comparing USA Autos or some other niche/XRC type of card - it's apples to apples - Bowman Chrome to Bowman Chrome.
Title might be confusing, but here is what I'm getting at:
I have always paid for items in chronological order, and promptly at that. But even if it were to take a few days, I would always pay chronologically, it just made sense.
Does anyone here pay at different speeds based on price?
This...
It's probably not a minor leaguer if you're looking for 2011 ROI. Look for someone young and relatively underpriced who is currently in the majors.
I like the suggestion of Rasmus above. Or Drew Stubbs. Or Jose Tabata. Or even Starlin Castro, though the ship has probably already sailed on...
