He's gone deep twice so far today and has 8 since being called up.

Check out those stats.

If only he hadn't gotten injured earlier this year, he could have been a legit ROY candidate.

If he keeps killing it in September I think he can win rookie of the year despite the relatively small sample size. This guy can play!

His high K rates make me a little nervous, but the prices are low enough that I am still a buyer.

I'm still waiting to list my stash. Prices are still below the range that he sold at when Bowman first released.

Rays are just nasty. Trade Garza, replace with Hellickson. Let Crawford walk, replace with Jennings. Both guys just as good, if not better than their predecessors.

Shields next?

Walked in his 3rd at bat and stole second. Not bad.

Anyone notice that 9 of the first 10 outs Price has gotten are on K's...

Check out those stats. Now that he's showing power, could his cards finally get the boost they deserve?

Is this guy your brother or something?

Don't see the need for this thread other than an attempt to bump his card value for you and his investors.

It's a baseball card message board and he is talking about a baseball player who is playing well. What else is he supposed to discuss?

He's a rookie hitting .352 8 HR 18 RBI 14 SB in just 34 games. He has been a dynamic player and hitting for more power than anyone ever expected. Granted he will not keep this pace up but he could finish the season up with 10 hr and 25 steals in about 60 games.

If we can't talk about baseball players what do we talk about then seattlesports?
Please let the rest of us know. Since you appear to be the authority.

Also, he is a rc who hit 2 home runs in his first 2 at-bats, then walked and stole a base his 3rd, then singled his 4th. He is on fire. But let's not post about it, because there is no need :benson:

Personally, I think it's somewhat standard around here. It may be annoying, but it is the nature of the beast. People buy in to the players they follow and follow the players they buy into, and there is an additional element to the rooting interest.

How would that post be an attempted to boost his value? its just a question. I'm curious as well even though I don't own any of his cards....

As controversial as it may sound, its fair to say there are at least some people who place cards on the bottom of their priority list, not everyone's interests here are the same.

He's actually made the show and is tearing it up, so there's no value to his cards. If only he were doing this at AA you might be on to something.

Never meant to imply anything to the contrary. Just saying that on a message board where many people invest in cards, one result is that their rooting interests are affected by their cards, and their cards are affected by their rooting interests.

To keep SeattleSports happy, I have removed the offensive line in question, and offer my most sincere apologies.
