Default Let's talk about prospects. Who are you excited about?

I want to talk speculating. Who are you guys watching? Who's on your lists? Whose cards are you snatching up whenever you can find a good deal?

Here are the guys on my list:

Anderson Espinoza: just bought his 2016 Bowman auto
Blake Snell: bought his bought his 2011 Draft auto last year
Jesse Winker: holding on to his 2011 Bowman Team USA auto /50
Julio Urias: picked up his 2014 Bowman auto last year
Tyler Glasnow: picked up his 2013 Bowman auto this winter
Kolby Allard: call me crazy, but I see a star. 2015 Bowman auto


I know Urias, Snell, and Glasnow are well known. But I was wondering who you have your eyes on.

I bought a Aaon Blair elite on card auto #274 . Out of a 3 dollar auto box. Got home and googled him and started to watch him. I picked up two more elite and a one #100. Then I added a sterling and a patch auto from leaf trinity.

He makes his deput for the braves on Sunday. To bad the braves might be the worst team in the mlb this year.

Orlando Arcia is going to be a special player. And thank God that we have something to look forward to, because the Brewers are awful.

Been picking up Christian Yelich auto rookies lately. Prices are down since he plays for the Marlins and isn't named Jose Fernandez or Giancarlo Stanton. He is however only 24 and walking almost as much as he strikes out. I think he'll be very good.

+1 on Anderson Espinosa (Red Sox) -18 yrs. old in High A already and could be the #1 pitching prospect next year. You never know, the Pedro comparisons could be legit.

Joey Gallo (Rangers) - struck out way too much during his call-up last year but is showing a much better eye in AAA so far this year and still has that crazy power.

Andrew Benintendi (Red Sox) - tore up High A, struggled a little with the promotion to AA, but is starting to pick it up. He doesn't have a lot of power, but can really hit and hardly ever strikes out.

Austin Meadows (Pirates) - missed time after getting hit in the face by a pitch, but is now riding a 24 game hit streak in AA. He's starting to develop some power this year too.

Manuel Margot (Padres) - hitting .300 in AAA this year. Doesn't hit for much power, but doesn't strike out a lot and steals bases. He should be called-up soon.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Blue Jays) - he's only 17 yrs. old and hasn't made his debut yet. I'm excited to see how he does when short-season starts.

I got an Allard auto in a box of Bowman Chrome over the winter. Hope he comes back from his back injury alright. Lots of people think he could be special.

Thanks to you guys I've been stocking up on Benintendi, Urias and Bogearts!

I haven't bought shiny stuff in ages, feels weird!
