Been focused on building the Finest Flashback Refractor set so money has been pouring in there. I was tempted to buy the Yordan TC Superfractor which a member on BO owns but with the market explosion, rightfully, the price basically doubled. I believe it was the base

Just a month ago he was on the boom end. Baseball is a long season. It will all even out over time.

I believe that great hitter's adjust, similar to Vladdy Jr. Sure, most of it was his diet and exercise but his launch angle has been fixed as well. Hoping for Yordan to do the same and I believe he will. The hitting part, that is

You definitely have more into him than I do. I’ve just picked up a half dozen prisms over the past month to hopefully grade sometime down the line. No superfractor investment here. He was raking the first month and a half, I’m sure he’ll pull out of it. Nice to go in a slump and still have an average over .300 and an OPS close to .900.

There are a pantload of 1st chrome gem autos at auction right now.

Has he even been playing?

Wrist injury, which explains the poor stretch. He's been given a few games to recover, not on IL so should be back soon.

New arrival...

Too early IMO. We shall see how this turns out.

It wasn't too concerning seeing him out as Dusty stated that Yordan needed to get right. It may have been more mentally than anything else. He came back strong his first game back which is a great sign.

I heard an interesting convo on one of the XM Radio talk shows this morning that named Nelson Cruz as a potential "fit" in trade for Houston. I thought they were crazy since they have Yordan firmly entrenched there...however if they think he can be an everyday outfielder maybe Cruz makes more sense.

I was curious who was going to DH. If they got Cruz, he will probably end up hitting 500 HR's within that lineup

Just what Houston needs. A PED user. Now he can get thrown at too

The only XM is Stern. Nelson died ten years ago

I added a huge Yordan Alvarez RC to my collection today.

I really wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to add one of these, but the dip helped me out.

You got an amazing deal on that!

I had a black but sold it right after his 2020 season came to an abrupt end. I figured I’d be able to find a good deal in the offseason, but that regretfully never happened... You got the deal I was looking for!

Very nice! I was hoping to see a few cards on the dip but nothing has showed up.

Hobby aside, this guy might have my favorite swing

That is definitely a big draw to him for me as well. Such a fluid, easy swing from such a giant man.

Nice snag!

I don't know how I missed that listing, I would've definitely offered more!

Nice! My favorite parallel. I had 4 blacks, sold 3 BGS 9's/8.5's this offseason and kept my 9.5. I figured i'd let someone else enjoy them.

BGeezy · 06-06-2021, 05:36 PM

Another start in left today, played well. Made a nice catch in foul territory, got a hit. Nothing special, but showing he can play the field. Should continue to get more starts.

Is in a bit of a slump at the plate though.
