Just updated the 2012 MLB Draft Matrix to reflect last week's new posts. Pulled 8 sources for their "expert" 1st-round mock drafts...
2012 MLB DRAFT MATRIX (RELOADED)

These cases were preselling at nearly $800/case but immediately plummeted after release. After the first week, cases were going in the low $600's. The lowest I have seen so far is around $510 and I personally think they have further to drop. I was very stand-offish since Topps has included the...
USA Baseball has half of the 22-man roster complete. A potential problem is that 4 of those players will definitely be competing in the College World Series, and 2 more (from Texas A&M) might be pending the result of today's game. Since alternates would initially be used, I'm wondering if the...
