Opening Day - Fools Gold

muchuckwagon · Mar 31, 2011

Every year someone (relatively unknown or overlooked player) hits 4 or 5 home runs the first week of the season or maybe 2 or 3 on opening day then is lucky to finish the season with double-digit home runs. However, that doesn't stop the hype...the fantasy rush or a quick run up in rookie card prices followed by an even quicker crash in prices.

So, who is your dark horse that will enjoy their 10 minutes of fame as baseball season starts today?

Chris Shelton - [phil:5rwl4slm]250796850612[/phil:5rwl4slm]

I'm not sure it totally qualifies because he might be more than fools gold but Jake Fox does seem like a candidate.

The greatest was that speedy guy on the Marlins who hit like .550 the first two weeks. I had one of his #d rcs and sold it for $50 or so. He sucked soon afterwards. It was beautiful.

Ahh, Emilio Bonifacio.

I just wanted to say his name. It's more fun in person.

I don't have any predictions, but I remember Jordan Schafer's hot start in 2009. Got $180+ on a Gold Ref Auto. I'd be lucky to get 1/3 of that for it now.

I'll go with this guy
Felix Pie Since he has hit under double-digits the last 4 years, but Jake Fox can be a good one for this as well.
