the top 5 autos from 2007 Donruss EEE in 5 years will be...

[TraderJake]

I can't see how Chris Davis will not be the highest selling card from this set if he continues to play like he did last season.He put up good numbers plus he has a small print run and it was a redemption. Wieters did have impressive numbers last year but it was in the Minors. Need to see him play in the league first to see if it will be a smooth transition because the hype machine on him right now is ridiculous.

only reason I didnt have Davis at one was the fact that he has a 2006 topps card even though its not autoed

 

[studmack2004]

[quote="chrome_ball":1du9tbvb]I think you could make a case for Jarrod Parker to be on or near the top 5 list. PR of only 499 and no Topps autos from 2007.

Parker is a good pick, but Walden is a safer bet IMO. NO other cards, period (Just doesn't count). Earliest he will have another card is in a 2009 set, two full years after his only rookie card.

I think skill counts more then anything :lol:

Parker is a far superior pitcher imo...

Are you kidding me? How in the world is Parker a far more superior pitcher than Walden. They both pitched in the MWL and Walden destroyed Parker in terms of numbers. I believe Walden throws a bit harder than Parker also. He has one card produced and it only has room to grow. Parker has too many cards to see a spike Walden will see. Dont get me wrong, Parker is nasty but no way is he far superior than Walden.

Walden only has one pitch that is even average, his fastball which is above average, but still only one pitch. His slider is inconsistent and is very much a work in progress. His changeup is rarely shown.

Parker on the other hand has a FB that is very comparable to Waldens (they both sit in the same range however Walden tops out at a higher speed) Parker also throws an above average slider AND curveball along with an average change..
Also parkers delivery and make-up both receive high praise from scouts...

Parker has 4 average or better pitches right now
Walden has 1 right now

Parker is ready to advance a level this year, Walden will get beat up if he does unless he develops better secondary stuff over the off-season...

Not even worth arguing. Your mind is made up, and obviously you think you know more than everybody else.[/quote:1du9tbvb]

dchurg knows everything..watch out...im not even going to argue anymore

No one is arguing. Parker is a year younger and is MUCH higher rated by every professional scout whose ranking I have seen..What is there to argue?

Dchurg makes stupid claims, and backs them up with made up scouting reports.

Then he gets butthurt if you call him out on it.

2. Heyward
3. Moustakas
4. Walden

[lvdan]

WOW...thats all i can say

[Incline Investments]

Walden is a bum

Ive got a few nice stashes of mid level elite guys but nothing to really get excited about yet as they are worth about what I paid for them still, hoping for a few big seasons from the pitchers(as usual)-

 

[studmack2004]

Yeh I have been going for the Ones #/794...Only 10 dollars....better investment i think right now....i made a good amount off those last year..figured i would do it again

You are right.

I make up everything I say...

Lets see what BA says

Strengths: Walden's calling card remains his fastball, which touched 101 and sat at 91-94 mph in 2008. He throws it on an impressive downward plane, and one observer said facing his heater was "like trying to hit a brick." His 86-87 mph slider has good tilt. He pitches to both sides of the plate and has the frame to be a workhorse.

Weaknesses: Against more advanced hitters, Walden will need to fine-tune his secondary pitches. He needs to dust off his changeup to better set up his fastball. His slider is inconsistent, at times losing velocity and shape. During instructional league, Los Angeles had him focus on repeating his delivery, which would help improve his command.

Pretty darn close to what I have to say not to mention I made my post after reading many different sites..

Lets see what BA has to say about Parker while we are here

trengths: From the first time scouts saw him, they have been impressed with the easy, high-90s velocity Parker generates from such a smooth arm action. He sits at 94 mph and touches 98 and looks like he could do it all day, drawing comparisons to Tim Lincecum. The Diamondbacks were also impressed with his feel for pitching and his aptitude in quickly improving his other three pitches. He developed better definition between his slider and curveball, with the slider the better pitch in Arizona's eyes. It's a true power breaker in the upper 80s. He seems more confident in the curveball, which also can be a plus pitch and is valuable for changing hitters' eye level. He never had to throw a changeup in high school but showed good feel for it. He was throwing it in hitter's counts and getting swings and misses by the end of the year. Parker is athletic and able to repeat his delivery, and he shows strong command of all four of his pitches. He's athletic and able to overcome his lack of height to get a good downhill plane on his pitches.

Weaknesses: Parker needs to be diligent about working to the bottom of the zone, because while young hitters will chase his fastball up, better hitters won't. His fastball command is good for his experience level, but he's still working on locating the ball to both sides of the plate with precision. He's also learning how to work through a game efficiently without piling up huge pitch counts.

The Future: Arizona expected a great arm with the ninth overall pick, but Parker's polish has been a bonus, particularly with his limited amateur experience. His four legitimate pitches, command and polished delivery are a recipe for stability and success. He'll open 2009 at either high Class A Visalia or Double-A Mobile, depending on his spring, but either way he'll pitch at multiple levels this season—and one of those levels could be the big leagues.

Oh, what do you know even closer to what I said

My imagination is fracking awesome!

Like Jays_cards said, there is nothing to argue about...Parker is twice the pitcher of Walden

 

[lvdan]

I wouldn't neccesarily argue the point that parker is a better long term prospect than walden, but focused on him due to not having any other mainstream 07 issues. With what's happened with Wieters stuff, Dayan Viciedo (sp?) and the fact(as mentioned before)that the earliest Walden will appear on another regular card will be 2009 makes me love the exclusivity that's developing for his stuff..... If he perfoms(fingers crossed)

Thank You. Walden will not have another card for another year.

Thats great, his cards are a good investment, no argument here..

What I said though was Parker is a far superior pitcher..nothing about cards or ROI...and I got attacked.

No one gave even ONE reason to why Walden would be a better pitcher, just resorted to name calling and bashing me instead...

 

[BGSRCGUY]

1. Wieters
2. Heyward
3. Jackson
4. Aumont
5. Walden

Going with this exact list. I think Aumont could rise above Jackson, and maybe even Heyward if he lives up to his hype, albeit im sure he will have a chrome soon.

 

[schmidtfan20]

why is Walden still cheap on ebay?
