I don't know much about prospects, but I picked up a Gerardo Parra X for about 6$ dlvd, and have a chance to pick up his blue refractor for 15$

Do you think this is a decent deal or doesn he have better cards out there?

Make sure it's from Bowman and not Draft, if so I'd take the blue if I were you...

A few members on the boards are real high on him. He's got a few autographs I think. Contenders, Elte..

Thats the one I got a second chance offer on for 15$, and took it

Nice buy, those were selling around $30 last summer. His stuff is on the rise again and I don't know how much longer people are going to be able to ignore his numbers: Gerardo Parra

Thanks...I figured 15$ which was my original bid was a good price for one of these

Going to have to hope that the D-Backs have a fire sale at the All Star break. Brynes is the only player blocking him and then you have Cyle Hankerd that may leapfrog him just because he can hit for more power at this point in time.

I just hope he can keep on hitting like he has...i don't plan on holding for long...hopefully just long enough though

Parra is an interesting guy: all of the tools grade out as average or slightly above, except the hit tool is flat out above average. He is never going to give you more than 20 HR's in a season, but he should be a .280-.300 hitter who sticks in center. Mudcatsfan makes a great point which is part of a bigger problem with the D'Backs - they really lack pure "professional hitters", so there really is a legit shot that he is their everyday LF before the year is out.

Time I will tell...Like I said I don't really "prospect", but I know enough by seeing what he has done in the minors that I figured he was a pretty good buy right now at current prices.
