A Once Failed Prospect Stash Has Been Given A Second Wind

[gonzagacubs]

Not much, but it's something.

Sean Doolittle has a second chance to make a first impression, and is making the most of it in Oakland Athletics' camp. Appearing in a big league spring game for the first time in three years, the converted first baseman struck out two in a scoreless inning Sunday against the Cubs.

While Doolittle may not be in the club's immediate roster plans, the 25-year-old Doolittle "has the A's believing he might be a superb reliever in the not-so-distant future," writes Susan Slusser in the San Francisco Chronicle.

Doolittle, a pitcher and a position player during his college days at Virginia, was clocked at 97 mph pitching in the instructional league last fall.

How much do you have of the man who does little?

Should have pitched coming out of UVA.

I am pretty sure I have a few more. I haven't updated it in a while.

Think so? I didn't get a chance to see much of him at UVA. I really liked his bat, and he was moving along pretty well in the system until he destroyed his leg a couple years back. I honestly thought he was done.

Loved Sean as a pitcher more than a hitter

and love Danny as both (ashame he has to spend time in Seattle)

I would have loved for Hultzen to have been drafted by a NL team for that exact reason.

Its about time they move him to pitcher. Sean always said he'd rather pitch anyway.
I have a pretty good sized player collection of his I'm looking forward to moving.

Hope he can transition (back) to a pitcher! Glad I unloaded a few others (still have these) back in 2009 when he was hot in the minors.

ill have to find my stash i have of him. lol cant remember what all i had but it was a nice little stash if i recall.

 

[sigma_chi]

I had my fingers crossed that this thread would be about Michael Burgess :lol:

 

[MisterT]

I have a bunch of stuff with his auto...team balls, team posters, etc from his days at UVA but no cards. Nice stuff actually as some of his teammates were Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Schwimer.

FWIW, "Doolittle played for the University of Virginia Cavaliers baseball team as both a starting pitcher and first baseman. He formerly held the record for wins in a career for a Virginia pitcher 22, which has since been passed by Danny Hultzen." From Wikipedia.

Obviously, I am a Doc fan as well. Has anyone found/seen the super? I have picked up a lot of his stuff since it has been so cheap the past couple years but I have never seen any of his really high end Bowmans.

A member on here had the super and a red in his sig for a while. Not sure if he still owns them however.

Think I flipped a $4 blue ref of his for 30-40$ a couple years back when he was hot. Wish him the best

That would be me.

Here's my current stash:

Here's what I sold off while he was hot:

I sold the super to someone in Taiwan.
