Now that Miggy has sobered up and lawyered up, he will never be convicted of DUI in a million years and will most likely plea out for public intoxication or open container. The lawyer will claim that nobody saw Miggy driving the car and that he could have pulled over and then chugged the scotch...
My thoughts (as an Astros guy)
Lyles is a little low - maybe not the highest ceiling, but his floor is as high as anyone in the minors
Folty finally gets some love - clearly he's behind Taillon as a prep arm, but he's got huge upside
You're going to hear from the Trout and Montero gang, but I...
Well done, congrats on finishing.
Manny's signature cracks me up. How the hell is JSA or PSA supposed to authenticate Mannys? He can't even forge his own signature.
While the centering looks good and there could be some grade speculation here, this is no fluke. There were 5 different bidders over $100, so we can add Miller to the hype-train.
Please post this asshat's ebay ID so we can all block him.
It takes 0.004 seconds to look at that picture and see the x-fractor lines + the numbering to 225 = dipshit buyer.
I was just looking at this today because I'm trying to decide how much to offer a Mike Foltynewicz Orange Refractor Auto. When looking at other Oranges from 2010 Draft I noticed a strange thing.
Here's completed sales (rough numbers) on Chavez Clarke:
Base - $4
Refractor - $8
Blues - $22

There's a handful of us that are definite "hopper hopefuls". There should be about 15 USA autos, 12 Platinum bonus autos, Bowman Chrome wrappers, and a handful of USA colored stuff to keep us interested.
By the way, the Brewers...

Brewers are up for trade if anyone is interested.
I'm depending on some hopper love for this break, should be lots of bonus autos, wrappers, and USA stuff to go around.
gomatt - you nailed the first half of this prediction, not sure on the second. People are still spending mountains of money on Strasburg.
ps - nice thread resurrection, this topic is always fun
Obviously, first Bowman Chrome autos are always going to trump Razor.
However, since Jordan Lyles is being discussed, it brings up an interesting opportunity. Lyles will not be in 2011 Bowman because his Razor exclusive contract isn't up until the summer or until he debuts with the Astros. So...
6 of the top 9 prospects (and 10 of the 20) are new to the system this year, so there is plenty of excitement in Houston for the youth movement. Jordan Lyles, JD Martinez, Mark Melancon, Anuery Rodriguez, and Brian Bogusevic should make the majors at some point this year, to play with Jason...
The Rockies could have absolutely fleeced the Astros if Felipe Paulino can overcome the injury bug and finally put it all together. He was completely snake-bitten in Houston. Then again, he may never pitch another inning.
On the other side, this shows just how insecure the Astros are in Tommy...
