Fewer and fewer people hold the belief they’re rookies every year and that number will continue to decline - it’s really time to move on.
This is an interesting opinion, but not borne out by the facts. The 2005 Verlander PSA 10 is worth more than twice what the 2006 PSA 10 is worth, despite having twice the pop count. Also, the gap widened between the two over the last year. It did not narrow.
