Why is there no hobby love for Jon Pettibone?

Bob Loblaw · May 4, 2013

His stuff is selling for relative pennies compared to fringe prospects and even Tyler Cloyd's stuff last year after a late season call up.

3 games started --

2-0, 3.24 ERA, 2 BB, 13 Ks, 16.2 IP, WHIP of 1.20....

I don't get this hobby sometimes.

Sounds like a good time to buy buy buy then.....unless of course you've already bought bought bought, and can't sell sell sell......

I think most of the fair weather fans that came out of hibernation in 2007-2010 have gone back to sleep, IMO. The Phillies just don't have that same spark in the media like they had going strong for 4-5 years. Halladay is hurt, Hamels is sucking and Utley, Rollins, and Howard are 1/2 of what they used to be. Three popular players - Werth, Victorino, and Pence - are all gone. Why be excited about a rookie that wasn't hyped?

Stats never stop people from throwing money at rookies.

I made plenty from Vance Worley cards.

Because 3 games is a very small sample size.

Maybe, but to Jeff's point, Vance Worley, JA Happ, Kyle Kendrick and many other Phillies pitching prospects have had similar and shorter runs and brought crazy returns. And none of them had any real hype before arriving in the majors.

Maybe the fans are starting to catching on. If that stable of pedestrian hurlers yielded solid returns what might a real thoroughbred bring once called up? Biddle me that.

maybe people learned their lessons from Worley and co.
