Andy, seeing the SO stats you posted prompted me to look up Bryce Harper's career-to-date stats. His SO to AB is 24.5% - his SO to PA (which I feel is a more meaningful stat) is 21.1%.

I don't look at it compared to PA when in a discussion because it can make someone look better than they are if they have a lot of passes (like Dunn). Either way, though, Harper is very much a great player in his time.

After a couple of so-so injury plagued years he's really having a breakout season. If you believe the analysts he's learning to lay off pitches which with his talent could be a hell of a combination.

A follow up on the "million dollar find" in which the owner realistically gives the paper scrap value...

Not sure if giving the address was so smart, the place is going to be torn to pieces by tonight.

I think with the amount of cards there, $150,000 in sales is possible, but once you factor in the time it would take, shipping and listing costs, you would be very far from $150,000 in profits. If someone just got them free outright and had room to store them, then you could piece them out slowly and make a decent amount(minus your time), but in reality it would be a lot of work. Something good for a retired person to make some extra cash I guess, or just go crazy opening them
