Why no love for Austin Romine?

[Zithy]

I realize that he's in Montero's shadow and is farther away from the bigs, but even BA predicts him as the starting catcher in/by 2012. Better defensively? Only 21 years old at present too.

Sales sure seem pretty cheap for graded blues and such, auto's no less. Anyone see prices jumping in 6-12 months or is he just over-hyped as a Yankee prospect?

Or some other reason that his cards are relatively cheap?

Defense: Romine > Montero
Everything Else: Montero > Romine

Really!?!

You mean the #4 prospect in baseball is better than the #86 prospect in baseball!!

Who'da thunk it!

I dont know, but I am pretty high on this kid. Too bad he has Montero in front of him :?

Theres always room for two (or three) catchers per team at the MLB level!

A blue auto ended 2 weeks ago for $20 (incl P&H) which sure seems dirt cheap to take a gamble on, even with Montero in his way.

I'd rather have Kevin Romine ...

But Montero is not in his way.

And lastly, SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH on the Romine buzz bud.

Romine will eventually replace Posada. Montero will be a 1st baseman/outfielder.

I agree that he is a good buy right now - he's someone I've been picking up. Take that with a grain of salt though as I was also someone who loaded up on Jeremy Jeffress and we all know how that's turned out so far :lol:
