Monty Stash

[Mudcatsfan]

Sickness.

What was your reasoning for going after Montgomery? Was it scouting reports, value to price at release, something you read, something you saw, etc?

I love hearing why people go after the guys they do.

Congrats on what looks like an AMAZING stash cashout.

Holy ******* **** :shock:

What an incredible stash. And it has to be seriously paying off right about now, considering how cheap these were at release and basically all of last season until the very end. What's amazing to me is the sheer number of each parallel, specifically golds.

I sold him three of those Golds.

To answer a few Q's: Unloading them? I'm going to have to if he keeps it up.

Why Montgomery? Top prospect in rookie ball league, competitive guy, tall and lanky, live arm, liked the movement on his fastball and his delivery on the scouting video, left-handed, ultimate projection pitcher's frame...all combined with I couldn't figure out why a guy like this was selling for peanuts.

My first red refractor was $60.00.

Other than my pickups from J.P. and Skrip, all of these were purchased very early.

Hopefully he'll do some damage tonight against Kinston, but they just saw him last week (not like it did them any good). Interested in how de la Cruz pitches as well.

Have a good day, all. Gotta run.

I remember you telling me to buy in last year... ::facepalm::

You're the man.

List it as a lot for 15K. See if someone does it.
