Every year, you have players that sell for waaaay more than what they should be going for...this year, my headscratcher award goes to Thomas Neal.

He had a GREAT season in the Cal League last year but isn't he the classic example of a guy who dominates Cal League pitching and struggles at higher levels (with his power specifically). He has 4 HR's and his Golds and blue's are getting some decent coin.

I'm not saying he's not a good player but he's like 23 years old in AA!

Someone explain this one!

The reason can be explained with one word, and it begins with a W.

yep, the W factor

Messier2 said:

The W factor as in he's driving the prices up or are people buying anticipating a flip to W?

But, like they say, it takes 2 to tango and if W bids insanely high but there are no other "high" bidders out there, the card ends for a not so crazy amount...so someone else might be after him hard as well.
