Looking to move some of this stuff on here before throwing it up on eBay. Prices have some wiggle room if buying multiple items, otherwise they are pretty firm on single item purchases. Prices include shipping. None of the balls come with COAs unless listed as such. Some of these balls were...
Pujols, Morales, Hunter, Wells, Trumbo...all will hit more than 20 with playing time (Wells may fall out if Trout replaces him). Kendrick has a great shot at 20 hitting in front of Pujols, and with Iannetta starting full time he should get near that mark as well. Minimum four, outside shot at...
Thankfully, you aren't a decision maker for any MLB front office. Just to ask, what similarities are there that I am missing here?
CF? Check.
Fast? Check
White? Check
Everything else? Ummmm............
When did I ever say he was on Mantle's level?
To play along with your imaginary question though, I'd argue that he'd fall closer to Mantle than Stubbs for career totals. BB/K ratio of nearly 1:1 (Mantle had more walks than K's), I can see Trout being nearer that than Stubbs inevitable split...
The way he has looked to date? You mean, his huge sample size of 123 ABs? Give me a break. This comparison has absolutely ZERO merit outside of the fact that both have some power and both are fast. Trout strikes out far less, walks far more, and has consistently destroyed Stubbs MiLB stats...
The Tigers have got to be the worst as far as watering down stuff goes, and they have definitely had a negative effect on their player's values. The Brewers make everything available too, but they don't go out of the way like the Tigers do to sell every little thing. The new trend is to switch...
A-Buy from team fanfest
B-Buy from retailer/dealer with connection to player/team
C-Buy from player directly
D-Buy from auction house/MLB auctions
Depending on who you're looking for, if you look hard enough you can almost surely find someone with that player's gear. You'll of course have...
ARod only has 6 years left at an AAV of under $24m per year, as his contract was heavily front-loaded. Mauer has 7 years left at a flat $23m per year. Yanks will profit a ridiculous amount once ARod starts breaking in to the 700+ home run territory, and they have already won a WS with ARod on...
Pretty much in line with the likely prices. Take the max of each item and the OP is still barely above $900 before fees. These boxes are HARD to make your money back on if you don't land a solid jersey/glove.
-Non-MVP season Votto's go $100-125 per pair
-Castro's go $125-150 if from 2011...
The only thing that Braun "owes" the fans is to go out and play the game at the best of his abilities. If he doesn't want to do these team appearances, no matter his reason, it makes no difference. The entitlement of some "fans" is ridiculous. The "fans" don't pay his salary, the TV deal and...
