Why did Clint Frazier prices tank in just 2 months?

[The Collector]

I admittedly don't keep close tabs on prospects, but what happened with this guy? Everybody move on to Abreu & Bryant?

Base Auto (raw): March $90 / May $45
Blue Auto (raw): March $317 / May $160
Green Auto (raw): March $399 / May $200


Guess I sat too long on all his Bowman Draft stuff I pulled LOL.

 

[Jaypers]

His season started later than most everyone else's, due to being held back in Ext. ST.

That, and he's off to a slow start in Low-A.

.247 with one homer in low A

What the other guys said

 

[jmc280zx]

New Bowman product came out with different players to spend $$$ on... Some much better then him...

Also the slow start not helping his prices either...

great time to buy - which I have been doing!

yeah tempting, kinda feels like Bubba Starling all over again though LOL.

Way too early on to make that comparison

Bubba is still a huge project because he was way overhyped and too raw. I think that Frazier is still raw and young but is more of a true baseball player than Starling was.

Good point. Guess I'll just tuck my Frazier stuff in the back of the closet, no sense in selling now.

One week on bba hot list will bump them.

I'm sure he'll be fine and pick up the pace as the season goes along. Like others said, he's a much better baseball talent than someone like Starling.

Hopefully Franco and Baez do the same in AAA.

 

[CatdaddysCards]

Don't give up on starling yet, either. I'm not. Base and gold sterling in pristine 10 slabs :-/

I think Frazier may have caught some "Next Mike Trout" syndrome too. Same thing happened when David Dahl's cards came out. If you're buying these guys at product release time you should rethink your strategy.

nothing frazier could've done to justify those release prices.
