Thoughts on Orlando Arcia

[hive17]

Hello all. Need some advice from some old friends. I know I haven’t been here in a while, but I still trust you guys.

I’ve been sitting on my Orlando Arcia collection for years now. I got rid of most of my stuff years ago, but I just couldn’t let him go.

However, now that he’s a relatively hot hitting All-Star, his prospect stuff is getting pretty hot.

Would you hold until the post season (I got lucky with Alcides Escobar doing that almost a decade ago); or just sell them all?

Here’s what I’m still holding:

I would personally sell while you can and take advantage of his hot start to the season. He did come up really young, so I was surprised that he's still only 28, and just now entering his prime years so he does have that going for him. Looking at his numbers, he's not even on pace for career highs in AB, H, HR, RBI, SB, which truthfully, I was surprised with since he has had a good start to the season. I figured he would at least be on pace for career highs in the "counting stats." Truth is, he's a light hitting middle infielder that might give you double digit home runs, and even less stolen bases and who's a career .248/301/376 hitter. This is just my .02 of course.

Move it if you're not attached to it ! No better time than the present !

Good seeing you on again sir!

I’d sell, but keep in mind that barring massive injury, ATL is in for a good playoff run, which may drive prices up even higher than just his performance does…
