Wheeler is a biter. Such a shame. I'd be selling quick!Messier2 said:
He was getting shelled before the injury. I would move anything high end.

I played ball with his older brother, Jacob, all througout Little League and high school. His middle brother Adam played for the Yankees in their minor league system and now Zack. Both Jacob and Adam had to give up baseball, for the most part, because of severe arm injuries. Genetics tells me that Zack will experience the same fate. Although I hate to see it, science wins most of the time. Adam still plays in the same semi-pro league that I do, although he doesn't pitch and only plays first base.

You can cherry pick whatever game you want. Inconsistency is a pitchers worst nightmare. Granted he still has a lot of upside, and is very young, watching massive implosions every other start is hardly turning a corner.

Wheeler is garbage. The Giants don't know good pitchers when they see them. And it's not like any other team would have drafted him that high last year. Certainly not the Atlanta Braves, another team that doesn't know what good pitchers looks like.

I never said he was garbage, I just don't like the small sample of his work thus far. I still say I would hold anything low end and sell anything high end.

I'm just hoping for a couple good weeks in A ball when he comes back to unload my base, ref, and x's. Did unload my gold refractor at a $40 loss last week though.
very true. But players drafted in the first round get multiple chances. the team has invested usually a million dollars plus on them an would love for them to do well. They will give them every chance they can. If they dont pan out they dont pan out.
All i was saying is that this is his first year in the minors an he is still becoming accustomed to the level of play. He has been working on different parts of his game an has been showing some improvements. If you can buy his low an mid level autos for cheap they are a good investment. If you need to pay a premium on his cards i wouldnt but if you are getting his chomes or elite auto cheap that is a good idea.
He might never pan out. Some prospects never do. Some prospects also have some learning to do before they turn into big leaguers, I personally believe that Wheeler can be a MLB starter but he is still young an maybe 2-3 years away from being that.

Is it me or a gold refractor of this kid at 80-90$ a complete steal for his potential?
