Ortiz is the comp that makes some sense, but he came into his own later. I think Ortiz is valued fairly well if that ugly 1997 Fleer card brings decent returns. I think for comps you might have to look at poor fielding good hitters, but I’m not sure if that is fair to Yordan or whoever you compare him to. Yordan is one of my decent performing pre-season pickup players that I am still picking up because the prices haven’t gone crazy yet (Devers is the other). My other targets have either played poorly, been injured, or have seen price jumps.
