I was analyzing prices for my 09 BCDP player watch list and saw this: http://cgi.ebay.com/2009-Bowman-Dra...ZViewItemQQptZUS_Baseball?hash=item4a9d998c0d
I'm confused as to what is warranting his prices. Mike Trout is a much better prospect and his cards are selling only a notch higher than Grichuk's at this point. Grichuk's Rookie ball stats are encouraging, but those shoudn't hold much weight. The 64 K's in 236 AB's is somewhat frightening as well. Are people just going nuts over his power potential? BA says this:
"He doesn't have the prettiest righthanded stroke, but his strong hands and bat speed should allow him to hit for a solid average once he adjusts his pull-oriented ed approach. A 6-foot, 195-pounder, Grichuk has decent athleticism and fits best defensively as a left fielder. He's a below-average runner with a fringe arm, but his work ethic and passion for the game should make him a solid defender."
I liked Grichuk coming into this product hoping he'd be one of the cheaper guys to pick up with so many question marks, but I guess I'll have to hold off. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
