Good Buys Thread

I actually thought the opposite about JP crawford. he's not expected to hit for much power and i don't see much he can do to increase beyond $20 a base auto. he's already being talked about as being an elite ss prospect w/ a bat but limited power and i don't see much changing. i have no knowledge of offseason workouts but wouldn't buy much into that type of stuff.

I made close to a killing this season buying crawford at release. I don't see him as an elite hitter and would MUCH rather repeat my strategy buying BDP this year. I think the good, easily predictable window to cash in, has passed.

Pretty cool how we completely disagree on strategies and find our own ways to make them work for ourselves.

JP crawford hit 11 homers at 2 parks which arent really homer friendly. I actually think he's probably going to hit 15-20 homers a season and will be an above average major league SS...

I can't imagine Francisco Lindor prices can get much lower right now.

It seems like next spring he's playing for the big club and starting at SS.

I love Lindor as a talent. But isn't there a point where it's too late?

The issue with Lindor in my mind is that if someone were to get in now you'd be banking on a dynamite ST in a weak market or a first month of the season where he absolutely amazes people; low odds in my mind.

Someone getting in now has missed all the peaks and valleys of Lindor in the low-to-middle minors - where in my opinion smart profit is made.

He could easily be mediocre in ST, make the team, but be unimpressive out of the gate.

Here's the player i see when I think of lindor and if you look at their numbers for their 20 year old year, its pretty much the same player...

I think lindor will always be in the 13-20 HR level but its developing and continues to develop in the AFL...

Unfortunately, we just don't know about the comparison at this point. If Lindor works out like Profar so far, and it continues, they will both be huge disappointments.

Yes, yes, young, yes.
