The last few unpaid spots made me check to see if Gleider Figuereo had died or got arrested this week. Fortunately neither happened.

marterburn's writeup on prospectslive is pretty complimentary. He put him in a tier 1 which makes him a top-10 auto guy.

I understand the time needed to fill the 100 and the need to start ripping the 20 caser in order to generate excitement, get sorted and sent out, but if there was a way to have everything paid for prior to ripping the 20 might help prevent non-payers. In the end, if we just own our intentions this wouldn’t happen.

(I didn't do that writeup) but that placement into the bottom of Tier 1 was my push. Joe's a big Giants homer which I can't argue with, but I would have him over Harrison (he also did the Harrison writeup of course).

We coulda be 2-3 cases in, if people would have honored their commitments.

Oh my bad, I knew his fingerprints were all over Harrison. Regardless, if the two of you have him as a top-10 auto guy, he's certainly no slouch.

Those spots got paid for. He’s updated the list with ones that got paid for last night after the initial post.

Totally misread that with the updated post. Whoops.

Exactly! Nothing. He is actually a top Rangers prospect - they just don't know if he will play 3rd or not.

2 of those names surprise me honestly. I thought for certain Tarantino & Mookie775 would have paid. Tarantino saw the invoice too and did not pay it. Mookie775 never saw the invoice but it's a day late now.

jmillitch was never going to pay apparently. You cant vet for character. This will probably be enough to ban him at least.

If someone donates $450 to St. Jude and sends me a screenshot of the donation, I'll buy them either of the BCP-59 Gleider Figuereo spots

As of now, I will start to consider claims and I guess offers. I will give preference to anyone who has the other half, like Almonte & Samil. No idea what to do with Figuerro - tempted to keep him as the karma on that spot is huge.

I'll take Almonte and De La Rosa at what they had them for.

Sounds like best route. I would have liked Almonte but only fair to let guy who has the other spot grab it since he did say he woudl take as well.

Absolutely nothing; top Rangers prospect. He didn't hit in the 21 and I honestly think they both thought they had the auto so ghosted.

Nothing. He's well under .200 but he's only 18 at A. It means absolutely nothing.

It means much, much more that he was tied for 2nd at the Complex in HR last year.

I'm guessing this is a case of looking at the EXTREMELY small sample size of the 20-caser and catastrophizing the possible results. A closer look at eBay - and a much, much larger sample size - would tell the owner of that spot that Gleider is confirmed to have signed - at a minimum- Base/Ref/Speckle/Blue/Blue Crater/Atomic/Green/Yellow/Orange/Red Lava and is likely not SP'd in the least.

You can literally have the largest Figuerro collection on the planet.
