I wonder what would be a fair price / trade value in today's market?

I believe it was either offered at or I was denied at $5500 when it first appeared. I don't recall. I do know that was a number that was brought up and before the crazy prices.

Absolute Beauty! Congrats on the 10!!

I 95% only focus on RC's. But I made sure to get a low number PSA 10 of this card also. Mine is without the auto.

Archangel1775 · 07-29-2023, 02:38 AM

He's back. Got on base and scored the tying run but the Rays pulled it out in the 9th

BBases31 · 07-29-2023, 11:15 AM

It's good that they're putting him exclusively at DH now. His best shot to stay healthy for the rest of the season. It would be a disaster if got injured again and missed playoff games

Archangel1775 · 07-29-2023, 09:14 PM

Left Field

3-5, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 3 Runs scored.

He brings it and the team responds!

regularp · 07-29-2023, 11:58 PM

He almost killed Bregman:

Bregman's future grandkids are fortunate.

Zauron · 07-31-2023, 03:29 PM

I don't understand Dusty Baker at all for hitting Yordan 5th behind Bregman and in front of Abreu.

I still think the Astros near perfect lineup would be:

Altuve
Tucker
Alvarez
Bregman
Abreu
McCormick
Diaz
Pena
Dubon/Julks

Yah. It's dubious to hit him 5th even knowing they don't want to move Tucker.

If it’s about separating the lefties a little, at least bat Tucker second and Yordan fourth.

Or maybe is Dusty is factoring in Yordan’s extended absence, and giving him some time get into a groove before moving back up the lineup…?

Onepocketj · 07-31-2023, 08:57 PM

And then guns out the runner at 2nd.

When healthy he’s basically been playing more LF than DH.

Which is complete nonsense, old school approach that doesn't make sense since both Tucker and Alvarez hit lefties decently.

And even then, you are sacrificing optimal lineup for the off chance they face a lefty in the 8th inning.

rwperu34 · 07-31-2023, 11:02 PM

Ideal lineup;

1. Altuve
2. Yordan
3. Bregman
4. Tucker
5. Abreu

I assumed it's just conservative Dusty. Your second point I think.
