[sheetskout]

Rank the 2008 Razor Signature Exclusive players as to who is the best performing investments at the present time. Let's define this as the best investment taking current performance, talent, and investment potential.

You don't have to rank all of them. I will do a top ten later. Thanks.

Haters: Please no anti-Razor talk in this particular thread. This isn't about that. Please leave that for another thread.

ROI percentage is probably the lower buy-in guy's that have become reputable (or moreso reputable), such as Casey Kelly, J.Lyles, & Ethan Martin. As at 1 time or another this season each of these 3 player's has sold for a pretty high percentage more than thier "buy-in".

Sadly overall, even though some player's have literally "Smoaked" it on the "statistical-front", the bigger names have not demanded a good return; as many if not all of the top prospect's are selling for a good amount under what they were going for upon release (& even a good amount of time after release)! I'm not sure we can label this a success by any mean's for prospector's, though there has been a limited window on some player's where prospector's could have made some $$$.

I would say as current investments, I would pick high school draftees that are currently not at their potential production or hobby-wise. A couple of these would be:

Ryan Westmoreland
Tim Melville
Kyle Skipworth
Destin Hood

to name a couple. These have very low buy-ins and a potential to skyrocket.

The best investments are the best ball players regardless of current prices.

Ok. This is what I didn't want; a debate on investment. Just the lists and explanations.

1. Matusz
2. Kelly
3. Lawrie
4. Smoak
5. Hicks

I have invested in Skipworth, but am in a holding pattern until he can have at least one hot streak lasting longer than two and half games this season.

 

[cgilmo]

Smoak should be #1

 

[RandomH]

Which of the above have no USA cards?

I think i'd Rank Westmoreland over Hicks.

 

[AKA Coastal]

If they release a packed out Metal product next year it will help these cards a TON. People may not even care the first release wasn't packed out.

 

[sheetskout]

Someone give me a list!!!

 

[Jaypers]

I think i'd Rank Westmoreland over Hicks.

He just went deep tonight.
