Andrew Oliver Called Up to Detroit!

Jaypers · Jun 22, 2010

Not quite sure if this is the right decision to make so soon, but I'll be watching this kid get his feet wet and wishing him the best.

Andrew Oliver-S- Tigers Jun. 22 - 12:57 pm et
The Tigers plan to call up left-handed pitching prospect Andy Oliver to start on Friday in Rick Porcello's place against the Braves.
Oliver was selected in the second round of the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft out of Oklahoma State. He hasn't made a start above Double-A to date, but the Tigers like what they have seen from the youngster thus far. In 14 starts at Double-A Erie this season, Oliver has posted a 1.28 WHIP and a 70/25 K/BB ratio. We'd let him get his feet wet before giving him fantasy consideration.

Go, Andy!

Just Elite.

I really doubt he's up for any length of time. It's basically a fill in until Porcello gets straight.

Andrew Oliver Called up

Tigers called up Oliver to pitch Fri night. He was leading AA in strikeouts.

If i am going to list some of his cards that i own. Do i wait till after his start, before his start, or BIN OBO anytime from now on.

Thanks for moving the post

I have been buying a few for a buck a card plus shipping now i wish i bought more. This happens to me every time i have a little stockpile of cards of a prospect they get called up just when i start buying more.

I'm not sure on this one. There's not much hype pre-start. The most likely way to hit big is hoping he does really well and selling post-start. :?

Just Elite.

Aside from Autographs in 2008 Sweet Spot, 2008 UD Ultimate Collection, 2008 Upper Deck Series 2, 2008 Upper Deck Timelines. He has a lot more cards out there than 2009 Elite Extra.

going on the Furbus with a bunch of friends. .its like 30 bucks for beer/drinks on the bus and then tickets to the game..

Seems like the kid will be up for atleast a little while past the all star break. The team needs a lefty power arm in the rotation. Also always nice to turn around cards that you bought for a dollar each for 10-20 times that.

I have a red status up, but I decided to counter a few low offers and hold out until prices go up some more. He pitched tough the other day despite the loss and I think his mid-90s fastball and power arsenal from the left side are gonna be good for some more quality starts in the near future.

QS loss....the AL could use a Kershaw.....he seems like a nice replacement for Porcello until he gets his head on straight.

kentuckyderby · Jun 27, 2010

think I saw his usa green auto on ebay

t3dudek · Jun 28, 2010

i have a few of his autos an decided to only sell 1 of his cards at this time that being a USA baseball auto that i bought 2 weeks ago for 1 dollar. i turned around an received 25+ dlvd. So that takes care of my whole investment in him. Sadly like ike davis i told myself that i should be buying more of this player but just never did. I will sit on my other 4-6 auto's i have of him till atleast his next start.

JEA2880 · Jun 28, 2010

I sold the (4) EEE Auto's I had purchased for a total of $12 including shipping with (5) base for $53 dlvd on ebay.

I think I might just buy every cheap Tigers prospect... I paid $2 on a Boesch base Auto, $7 on a Boesch Blue Auto and $20 on a Boesch Gold Auto also in the offseason. Unfortunately, I moved the Gold for $25 when I was having a show fire sale in March and got $40 for the Blue and base... ::facepalm::
