It's Monday --- Here are some interesting stats to keep you awake
Love him or hate him, here's something you might not have known about Bryce Harper: he struck out only 3 times as a soph.omore in high school. In 90 plate appearances as a Varsity high school player, Harper posted a K% of 3.33%, and a BB% of 24.4%. Oh, and his ISO was a scorching .446... -

Would you rather..... Profar vs Sano vs Taveras
Ok, here's one more thought exercise for the day. For the sake of keeping my mind active throughout the rest of the day, here's the scenario: You have the option of drafting 1 player for your favorite team next year, and the options include Jurickson Profar, Oscar Taveras, and Miguel Sano... -

Would you rather.... Adam Jones vs Josh Reddick
Just a simple exercise for Tuesday morning. If you were starting a team from scratch, you'd obviously take THE Giancarlo Stanton as your #1 outfielder, but if you had to choose between Jones and Reddick for your #2 spot, who would you go with? I've been a Reddick fan since he was in A ball... -

Somebody please explain this to me...
I've been keeping a close eye on Taijuan "Vaj Wall" Walker and this seems like a weird sell to me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-BGS-9-Bowman-Sterling-TAIJUAN-WALKER-base-auto-autograph-/150758630222?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item2319ea234e#ht_500wt_975 All the Sterling base autos have been sitting... -

Spring Training Hype Train Prices List
Figured it would be a good time to start a thread to track cards that are starting to show movement due to ST. If you have a card that you've noticed significant movement on, throw it out there. Kinda' a week long Hot List. I'll try to keep this first post updated as folks contribute... T... -

Interesting article/report on T. Walker (or Vaj Wall)
Came across this and thought I might share. It's one of the better articles I've seen about Walker, and makes it sound like his offspeed stuff is coming along very well. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/thehotstoneleague/2017563662_dustin_ackley_on_taijuan_walke.html Still sitting on a... -

Buy, Hold, or Sell : Taijuan Walker?
Here's a quick poll just to see what everyone thinks. I've got a decent stash of Taijuan Walker, and prices are beginning creep upwards. A recent Bowman Sterling auto went for $17.50 + $2.50 S&H and it had several bids over $15. I think that's a new high for the Sterling auto, but I'm not... -

Thanks for the laughs eBay!
Wanted to share my most recent eBay encounter with fellow FCBers. I posted a certain card with a relatively high BIN/Best Offer in order to test the market and see what kind of offers I'd get. The ad specifically stated that the card has a minor flaw on the bottom border where the chrome layer... -

One year from now, the top prospect in baseball will be....
Ok guys, since the hype train is going to soon leave the station for ST 2012, I think it's time we start looking into the FCB crystal ball and get loaded up for next year. Baseball America hosted a chat recently and this question and answer came up towards the end: Joe LeCates (Easton, MD)... -

That didn't take long -- Profar BC Auto $50
I just posted something the other day about how Profar prices were scooting up and then I come across this tonight.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jurickson-Profa ... 087wt_1037 I was on the fence about picking up more of these before ST, but I think I just got priced out. Guess I'll sit on what I... -

Is this a new Profar record -- $200+ for a Blue?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-Bowman-Chr ... 500wt_1287 Looks like at least 2 bidders over $200, and 4 bidders over $190. I remember passing up on a few of these in May at $70-80 b/c I thought they were too expensive. Oh well. -

Top Rookie WAR Leaders -- A few surprises...
I was looking at some front runners in the WAR department for ROY and I thought I would share w/ the board for comments and discussion... AL Alex Ogando - 2.9 Michael Pineda - 2.6 Dustin Ackley - 2.0 Josh Reddick - 1.9 Mark Trumbo - 1.8 Zach Britton - 1.7 Jordan Walden - 1.5 Ivan Nova - 1.3... -

Anyone see this sell: Josh Reddick Xfractor...
http://cgi.ebay.com/2008-08-1st-Bowman- ... _533wt_932 I know it's not a ton, but $65 is more than what his blue autos were selling for just a few weeks ago. I remember selling a 9.5 BGS blue auto last summer for $70, wish I still had it. Glad to see Reddick doing well and getting some attention. -

My new Profar stash...I hope I don't jinx him
Thought I'd share what I've been up to. I'm a big Profar fan, but if this post is followed by an 0 for 80 streak or a freak accident, you all can blame me... (one moment please, having some technical difficulties w/ my images...edit: is fixed) -

Da Bravez can haz joSh redDIck plez?
someone get wren on the phone and tell him to work something out with the BRSox stat! Move Jason-Greg-Oden-Heyward to the local slow pitch women's softball team and put Reddick in right. Ship Beachy and Minor to the Sox, win-win-win. -

Profar: Buy, Hold, Sell?
Profar has had a very nice month/season, and prices are slowly migrating up. Some publications have him dead even or ahead of Machado, but you can still pick up Profar autos for half the price of Machado. Seems like he's a lock for making the top 10 next spring, so unless he gets severely... -

Anyone buy card lots off Craigslist?
So this morning I decided to post an ad on Craigslist with the usual "we pay cash for cards". In 5 hours I've recieved probably 15 calls or messages from people who want to sell anywhere from 400 to 25,000 cards! I never thought I'd get so many responses so quickly! My original plan was to... -

Unsung Heroes -- David Robertson
I'm not a big Yankees fan, but my residency program director is. Yankees fans are beginning to notice Robertson, especially since Chamberlain and Soriano are out. Robertson's another southern guy I've watched since he got drafted, and I always thought he could be something special if he'd get... -

Any Josh Reddick Believers?
Reddick has been one of my favorite Georgia-boy prospects over the years, and I'm happy to see him finally getting some good at bats put together in Boston. I don't have a huge stash of his cards, but I think I've got a few base autos and some refs and maybe a blue or 2 lying around. He walked... -

Prospect Report 6/24/2011 -- Profar, Friedrich, Holmberg, and more! Let me begin by saying I’m not a scout, I don’t have a background in statistics or math, and my resources are about the same as anyone reading this. My goal in writing these types of posts is to initiate constructive...
