So ACUNA is the closest to TROUT potential. Who is the next ACUNA?

Sure..

2017 batting avg .267
2018 batting avg .260

+ always Horrible playoffs

Those stats for great hobby love/value are now a days considered “bad”

2019 he went nuts 1st half of the season, was maybe around .350 batting avg and ended at .305 meaning the 2nd half he went back to his .260 avg

If he keeps up his 1st half play then thats a different story

So far being a Dodger,still young,and his Homeruns have maintained his prices

you cant call his 2017 bad. You can poke holes in his game, playoff performance, streakiness, hair style...whatever...but to say his 2017 season was bad is just not based in reality. He set the NL rookie HR record. you can dislike him, believe his cards wont be worth anything....but you cant call that season bad.

I actually like his game and his future as well. and I think he is undervalued compared to many others. I hope he can keep his play up like the start of 2019.

it was exciting what he did in 2017. but then forgot how to play in the playoffs and most of 2018.. its ok as he was just getting started, he has achieved a lot in just a very young career. but he has had some big Downs.. the sort of downs that can get you easily Benched or forgotten, if he hadn't had the start he had in 2019 he would have already been benched with horrible playoffs in 2017, a bad year in 2018, horrible playoffs in 2018, an amazingly good 1st half of 2019 but then horrible 2nd and horrible playoffs

Acuna and Soto haven't experience those big Downs.. if Acunas worst has been maybe 2-3 weeks and Soto 1-2 weeks, both only once.. Bellinger has had a couple of bad months already
and batting .178 in 36 playoff games (what people remember most)

Not sure how Lindor doesn't get more hobby love. The defensive skill, 30+ HR power at a premium position and a huge likeable personality that shines through on the field.

I agree

[Middies31985]

Crazy part about Lindor too is that he has been on the biggest stages and get still struggles keep up with the likes of lesser Players.

If only the Tribe had won that 2016 WS. Stupid injuries and rain delay. Still amazing what that team did without Brantley, Bauer, Cookie and Salazar. Limped into the postseason and almost pulled off the biggest WS upset ever.

Not to mention, he had a .933 OPS—despite the mediocre average he posted in a season he began at 21 years old.

He plays for the Indians. What other reason is there? Out of all the small to mid-market clubs, the Indians seem like the biggest black hole in terms of hobby love.

WTF is a black galactic diffractor?

Do those really matter?

In Tek? Guess “yes” if you like that series

Their ‘15 parallels were:
- Purple (not numbered, but print run of ~150)
- Confetti #/99
- Tidal #/75
- Gold Rainbow #/35
- Clouds Diffractor #/25
- Red Orbit Diffractor #/5
- Black Diffractor #1/1
- Black Galactic Diffractor #1/1

And if you care YoY, the black galactic has remained the consistent 1/1 of the Tek world, until it went gold 1/1 in 2018

how many votes would Jo Adell have received if the Poll had just been created...

or is he still the guy?

price wise.. Marco Luciano should be up there now with J-Rod, both sell for around the same now

used to be J-Rod about 30% more

Plays for Cleveland? Then again the Angels are a nobody team too but I guess at least it's California?

Jo Adell really proved he was all hype.

The next Angels Brandon Wood/Dallas McPherson?

[daeve]

Adell does have a pretty big flaw he'll have to work on. Wouldn't be shocked to see him demoted if he continues to struggle. Good news is that would give Marsh a shot, I think he's been fairly underrated for a while, likely due to being below Adell on the totem pole.

Now that Tatis was the next Acuna, who's the next Tatis?

[KT40]

I’d have to say Kelenic is on track to be a star. I saw him play for a few days before his senior year at the area code games. Dude is an athlete, and has elite hand eye coordination. Power is the only tool where you’d have to question how it will develop. He’s a lot like Trout too being from a cold weather area. I think the more high level competition he sees the better he will get. I’ve been trying to scoop up some of his autos, but it’s hard to pay the price people are asking already. Hope to get a few soon though.

[Mahomie]

It's amazing how quickly Trout and Acuna started accumulating stats. If you want to satisfy all the criteria, you have to start early.

Lindor will be traded by start of next year.
Ramirez has been an MVP top 5 finisher the past three out of four years (3, 3 and 2). That’s why.
