Tigers call up Jay Sborz - Daeyel's dream has come true.

[Austin]

The Tigers are calling up pitcher Jay Sborz to replace Rick Porcello.
Anyone remember, years ago, when Beckett member (and current FCB member?) Daeyel had/has that enormous stash of Sborz '03 UD Prospect Premiere autographs?
Well now he might finally be able to cash in.

Here's the ESPN report:

Where is Daeyel?

I saw this on the wire and he was the first person I thought of.

 

[AmishDave]

I bought a '03 BCD Xfractor Auto for $2 last October. May have to try to flip it now

I thought Daeyel was buying up 03 BDP Autos. I don't remember him buying 03 PP Autos. I think he was trying to figure out the quantity of auto cards by using the authentication sticker numbers on the back of the card.

That's what I remember also. Wasn't he sick? I haven't seen him around for years.

First guy I thought of too... I believe Daeyel is deaf, if I recall correctly. A really classy guy from BMB... I wonder where he migrated to?

I think you're right.
Being an Andre Ethier collector, I always have '03 UDPP on the brain, and not '03 BDP, since Ethier wasn't in Bowman that year for some odd reason.
But anyway, Daeyel was a great member and I hope he's doing well.

And in other breaking news, the Montreal Expos have called up Ron Callaway.

Good for Jay Sborz for sticking it out and making the show, as he must be about 28 by now, hopefully Daeyel is smiling somewhere.

 

[Mudcatsfan]

ditto.

I've actaully been noticing his name in the Baseball America prospect hot sheets. He's been doing well. Between him and Schlereth, Detroit has some gas they can throw at teams if they bring both these guys up.

Unfortunately 8th inning setup duty won't make those 03 bdp autos move like hotcakes, but maybe if he could sneak the closer's job away and they make a big playoff run, ala Frankie Rodriguez?

Good luck Daeyel wherever you are.

Isn't he the guy who worked at Walmart who constantly complained about working at Walmart?

Collected Pawelek, too?

Daeyel's last name is Conklin, and he lived in Utah in 2005. I don't think he is a member here.

He also opened a bunch of the 2004 AFLAC Redemption sets and found the first "PROMO" cards, a complete set in a box (if I recall correctly). I bought the Maybin PROMO card for $100 back in the day. TBP owns it now.

I bought the McCutchen from him. MUCH cheaper than the Maybin.

Two hit batters, three hits allowed, five earned runs, 1 strikeout, 2/3 innings pitched. Stunning debut.

I read one of the Detroit newspapers today before his debut. It stated that Sborz wouldn't be up for very long.
