The Official Riley Greene Thread

seanrs1 · 06-17-2022, 03:17 PM

I didn't see one, so I thought it would be a good idea to start a Riley Greene thread since he will debut on 6/18/22. I have been collecting Greene in the past and I am a Tiger's fan, so I hope he becomes an all star one day.

Exciting! Tigers need a boost right now for sure

I guess we will find out when his topps now debut card is out if it has a RC logo on it. I am hoping he will make it into a 2022 product.

1st multi hit while reaching base. Wish the Tigers had this energy at the start of season. They looked completely different while playing inspired. If Greene helps create the team win more games, that should influence his card value.

Topps Now is a Call-Up so no RCs until 2023. Thanks Topps.

His maturity at the plate is known to be a strong suit of his and it's showing in his debut. Excited to watch him progress in his major league career for sure.

Well played.

And very true, though I am at least appreciating Oneil Cruz rookies this year.

seanrs1 · 07-02-2022, 08:49 PM

As a Tigers fan his walk off home run is great to see. I think he is the real deal and will be a future all star. His defense looks good too.

RandyB · 07-03-2022, 10:21 AM

This kid looks great so far. Seems to have all the tools. His plate discipline is really impressive for a young rookie. The Tigers might have a future superstar with this kid.

seanrs1 · 07-03-2022, 10:40 AM

He does not have the hype/tools of Witt or Julio Rodriguez, but he may turn out to be just as good or even better.

mwash1983 · 07-03-2022, 11:03 AM

Buyer beware, Gregory Polanco looked like a stud his first month as well, wait until he has another turn around the league.

seanrs1 · 04-24-2024, 04:37 PM

Thought I would bump this thread since I started it, but don't really collect Greene any more. Is top 5 in bWAR at 1.7 and may never be able to say he is top 5 in WAR ever again. I know that CJ Abrams is getting a ton of love on here but not Greene. Was sort of wondering why?

Because CJ is showing off the power/speed combo which sells much better than the drawing walks and defense combo?

absolutely true in the hobby world -but to me a great eye and plate discipline in a very young player like Riley Greene who can walk more times than strike out or lead the MLB in walks granted over a small sample -tells me of a player with a solid future as a hitter versus somebody swinging at pitches in an out of the strike zone and widening the strike zone for these MLB pitchers who can throw bullets and place them inches of their target with movement. i think he has the power speed and all the rest of the tools to be a star (of course barring injuries which he has had his share of) and who might be considered by some under-hyped
