Holy schnikes, these puppies are heating up. Anyone noticing this - Base Autos are now popping off at like $47.

This just ended tonight:

I've been saying this for a long time.

At the end of the season, if you compared Profar's stats to Machado's, without knowing who was who, you may take Profar. Yet, when I was buying just about every Profar auto, Machado autos sold for about 3x what Profar's sold for. That just made me buy more. I have been VERY pleased by what I've read about Profar in the offseason-a lot of folks are ranking him ahead of Machado, which is saying quite a bit. Profar had as good a season, or better, compared to Machado-and is over 6 months younger.

What Profar did at Low A was impressive, but add to it he was 18 the entire year(turns 19 in February)-and it makes it really impressive. In 115 games, he put up .286 avg/.390 obp/.493 slg, while racking up basically 1 extrabase hit per 2 games(57 extrabase hits), and perhaps most impressive is that he walked 65 times, compared to 63 strikeouts. Add to that his great makeup, and his ability to play above average-maybe plus-defense at SS, and you have all the makings here with Profar.

Call me crazy, but here is a comparison that comes to mind for Profar: Mike Trout. Both solid across the board tool-wise, great makeup, good to plus defense, etc. Trout a little faster, though. But, I think Profar could move towards the top 3 or 4 prospects quite easily this year.

Profar has nowhere near the power that Trout has.

Like him alot and liked him early. Extremely interested in seeing how he does in A+.I don't think he is in Machado's class offensively.

Profar is in the same league as Machado without a doubt. Both are projecting as great offensive players at their positions!

I was really surprised to hear this to be honest. I was watching a lot of 15 base bowman cards that I was going to bid on earlier this week. I forgot to bid and the auction ended without a bid at .99.

Never said he did-the comparison was more so regarding both having solid tools across the board, great makeup, plus defense, as I said. The progress in terms of prospect ranking just seems very similar so far, between the 2. For the power, the strong majority of SS prospects are going to have less power than a CF prospect-usually.

Got it. I like both quite a bit. Profar should be in the top 4 by sheer graduation. Moore, Montero and Trout will all lose their prospect eligibility.

Yeah, and the crazy thing is Harper could lose his as well-then, you have a battle for #1 overall prospect, which would do wonders to anyones value. Teheran should also lose his, and Shelby Miller could as well.

As far as the Trout comparison, I should have been more clear on that.

Profar is nearly in the top 4 already... not fully done with my list yet, but he is hovering around 5-6 for me... aside from Moore, Harper, Trout, and Machado... hard to pick anyone else over him

The gold BGS 9 mentioned above sold for $360 and a red BGS 9.5 sold for $1675 late last month. Maybe 1/2 way between that?
