How the mighty have fallen...Tim Alderson Edition

[PaulKonerkbro]

With this listed (yes I am sure someone will hit it now that I posted it- not my auction), I can only imagine how far he has fallen off the radar. Last year Alderson was one of the top names around. :/

Im not giving up on Tim. To young with to much potential.

Sold my blue ref for $130 dlvd

But he's a pirate now, so he's going to think he'll never get any run support.

Plus, believe it or not, that BIN price might be too high still, maybe it'll actualy sell for $15-$20?

I don't know if I would consider this guy among the ranks of the mighty.....The Mad Bum hype train overshadowed him the entire time he was in the Giants organization.

I agree with the above posters....way too early to give up on Alderson.

Oh I never meant giving up on his game. I simply meant these prices...

The problem price wise is that once the prices falter and go to ridiculous lows, it is extremely hard to get back up. Look at David Price for instance. His prices plummeted, and even though he has been one of the top pitchers in the AL through the first 6 weeks, he still isn't close to where he was prior

10 x easier to lose your luster than it is to ever get it back

I saw that and passed. Not Daniel McCutchen

Ya, prices have really fallen, but he's still very young (HS drafted in 07). Rough start so far, but if he can come together like in 08, who knows, he may be potentially be a 2-3 starter in the pirates rotation eventually.

As it should have. Bum is a much better pitcher and a lefty.
