Rockies' Nolan Arenado named MVP of AFL

[19braves77]

Purty impressive:

The 20-year-old is batting .404/.434/.658 with six homers, 33 RBI, 11 doubles and a 1.092 OPS over 114 at-bats

Interesting, considering I thought some guy named OLT was playing as well.

 

[19braves77]

32 strikeouts in one third of his at bats hurt Olt.

Nice, my stash is happy. He was very underrated during the 2011 season and still is, in my opinion. An easy buy.


Wonder how the AFL performance will help his status in upcoming prospect rankings.

I have been at work all day.


Pretty stoked about this. What a player, and I hope I can meet him next year.


As the FCB saying goes: "My superfractor is pleased."

Fixed for you.

Boy do those things look nice, wow.

 

[Superfractor]

:lol:



Thanks, guys. Let us not forget this one?

I'd love him to be the 3rd basemen anchor after the Ian Stewart-Garrett Atkins transition.

He looked great defensively this morning. He's slow as hell though.

Adam Foster posted a scouting report on him -- http://projectprospect.com/article/2011 ... ing-report -- and said he's one of the top 10 prospects in all of baseball.

 

[Superfractor]

Has BA posted their Rox top-10? I'd be interested to know their number-one.


Thanks for posting the article.

Nice. His closing remarks sum up the article nicely:

Nolan Arenado is the real deal. He's a top 10 overall prospect for me right now. Given the lack of big hitters who can man the hot corner in the big leagues today and his odds of sticking at the position, he could very well emerge as an annual all-star. Put him in an extreme hitter's park for the better part of a decade and he may become one of the most productive bats in baseball.

 

[sheetskout]

Bump.

I picked up a base auto of his for $6-$7 IIRC.

Looks like it might turn out to be a decent purchase!

 

[All The Hype]

I just sold a base refractor auto for $47.94. I am very pleased. And what's crazy is I think they still have more room to grow.

With the way he has played this season and in the AFL, he is on his way to being one of the top rated prospects in the game and if he keeps it up he is going to get to elite status in the card world too, thanks to the prospect of his future being at the best hitter's park in the big leagues, Coors Field.

 

[JzWand]

Damn a base auto of his just went for $41.

I wonder how much higher they can get!

 

[Superfractor]

Insanity; love it.

 

[All The Hype]

Believe that's a new all time high. I wonder where that puts refractors and whether or not this is the new norm.

They are only going to be trending upward as we get closer to ST and people realize how good of a prospect this kid is. Once MLB and BA start appearing with their lists and other sites talk about Rookies, this Rockie is going to be a popular Auto.
