Hello all. I know its has been a while since my last post but thanks for hanging in there with me. My review of the 2019 Bowman Draft Baseball checklist is complete and overall I think its a strong product. Overall high school arms were very weak in this class. In addition, teams selected a ton of college talent. The one thing that concerns me about a college prospect is will they be able to move quickly and their age. How much upside is still there? Remember these are my opinions so if you disagree that is OK. Go with your instincts. Please see the review below and spread the word. Links to EBay have also been provided. Thank you for your patience and I promise more posts are coming soon.

Seems like alot of passes this draft, i agree with you because the price for draft is so expensive. I feel card companies are making too much of the product now and the price is un reasonably high.
ReplyDeleteIts the price combined with a ton college talent being taken. Older prospects with no guarantee to move quickly.
DeleteHi, per Rece Hinds- what do you mean by "no sample size"?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Complete Prospect Analysis. Really appreciate your work.
Hello. He only had a small number of at bats. Need to see at least 400 plate appearances this upcoming season.
DeleteI also want to know and get a better understanding on why older players get a pass?
DeleteAny recommendations where I can search and get better info / knowledge on prospects?
For me older players just don't have the upside and if they don't move quick they are already older when they hit the majors.Fangraphs, Baseball America and MLB Pipeline are all good sources.
DeleteI got a Jake Sanford, Blue Refractor in a pack. Does it make since to try to get something for it now, based on your assessment or is this a hold since I got it in a pack?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I would lean towards selling. He's 22 with a high strikeout rate and he is a Yankee which should give him a bump in price.
DeleteThank you! One other question...do you know why people ask asking twice to three times as much for a plain refractor (#/499) vs. a blue refractor (#/150) on ebay?
DeleteThanks again for your help. I listed it on ebay and already have offers coming in for it. Also, thank you for doing this site as I have found it helpful and have bought some prospects based on your recommendations. Keep up the good work!
DeleteIn regards to refractors, I would wait to see if that changes as a ton of cases are still being ripped.Thanks for supporting the site. More content coming.
DeleteJust wondering why many people is collecting Dominic fletcher? Except the age is there something with him?
ReplyDeleteHis numbers were not bad at all his first year.He has some pop but there is a strikeout concern. I have to admit the prices are not too bad. The question is can he move quickly.
DeleteBecause I just hit his gold auto keep and send to grade or just sell now?
DeleteAlways grade it if you can. Especially if you think its can be a 9.5 w 10 auto. In my opinion selling might be the best way to go.
DeleteSorry for bothering so much. What kind of card you’ll choose to grade first? Like price over $100? Or blue gold orange these ref?
DeleteNo worries Jack. Fire away. Feel free to email on send message on Twitter and I can respond faster. I think for me if its gradeable I am sending it in unless the cost to grade is more than the card.Color does not matter as the boost you get if its 9.5 w 10 auto is worth it for any card.
DeleteSorry just wondering what’s the potential you are expecting from Andre lipcius even he is 21 now?
ReplyDeleteNo need to apologize. I want to see more power and expect more doubles. Keeping an eye on him.
