What about sapphire vs non true colors? Like say Lavas which are prob above shimmers and waves, spitballing a bit there but you get my point. I’d think the sapphire look takes over at that point but that’s personal preference

Sapphire only falls short in regards to autos. They are the best design of the newer parallels. I feel they are on par with the traditional non-auto parallels.

Reds fans, when was the last prospect that there was this much excitement for and performed up to the hype at least for a short while? Chris Sabo and Eric Davis?

He’s hasn’t even been the best performing rookie the reds have called up In the last 2 weeks. But I’m sure I’m one of the few that was more excited to see Abbott

All the smart people say he’s going to the Hall, and they’re probably right, but I lived The Joey Votto Experience, and I can’t say I was super impressed outside of a 3 year stretch.

How about his 2015-2017 seasons? Came in 2nd, 7th & 3rd in MVP voting, batted .314, .325 & .320. Who wouldn't want that guy on their team?

Looking at his Baseball Reference page now, his 2017 season was particularly good for fantasy. I guess I missed it.

Not a HoF counting stat, but I read that until last year, he had never popped out in the infield in his career. That's insane.

I think the hype for Aroldis Chapman may be the greatest. I can still remember his GABP debut

A lot of fans at the time said he got robbed of MVP that year. He led the league in bWAR, but lost out in the voting to Giancarlo Stanton by 1%:

I do remember the Chapman hype now. The rest I don't remember the hype and performance. Maybe Dunn and Cueto though.

Drew3000 · 06-12-2023, 01:02 PM

Bunch of hype around Jay Bruce, wasn’t he baseballs top prospect for a bit?

Nick Senzel was pretty hyped for a while, he was selling for as much as acuna and maitan.

No Elly purchase is a good idea right now. Either wait until the off season or wait until his ‘24 S1 cards come out.
