2003 Bowman Chrome X-Fractors #331 Brian McCann AU A<br />
<br />
A card that I used to have but sold at the beginning of the year for double what I initially paid. Luckily (?) he's gotten off to a slow start and his card prices have dropped, like this one that I got for less than what I had paid for the first one. Still looking to grab the base, refractor and gold again.capncushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08096877306514260761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632990532139930825.post-15431322760696301872014-05-30T21:06:00.000-04:002014-06-01T14:47:02.796-04:00Recent Pickups: Jason Heyward, Freddie Freeman, Luis Merejo, Alec Grosser, Jason Hursh, Justin Upton<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Picked these up in recent trades and a few eBay purchases. Already talked about <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=merejo002lui" target="_blank">Luis Merejo</a> and <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=hursh-001jas" target="_blank">Jason Hursh</a> in previous posts so here's a little something about <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=grosse000ale" target="_blank">Alec Grosser</a> from draft day <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130608&content_id=50013772&notebook_id=49634938&vkey=notebook_atl&c_id=atl" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I'm really excited about the <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=freema002fre" target="_blank">Freddie Freeman</a>. I've been looking for it for a while now, but was always more than I was willing to pay. Ended up getting it in a trade for a few refractors and non-Braves rookies. It will stay in my collection for a while.<br />
<br />
I will probably end up selling or trading the <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=upton-001jus" target="_blank">Justin Upton</a> because I don't really collect that sort of stuff, but it's nice to have in the meantime.<br />

I picked up a few <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/justida01.shtml" target="_blank">David Justice</a> PC stuff that I'm excited about. The first is dual autograph with <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jonesch06.shtml" target="_blank">Chipper Jones</a> that has an announced print run of 25. Been looking for this for a while and every time it came up on eBay, I had some reason or another I wasn't able to afford it. The other two are from last year, the Panini Fall Heroes autograph and Leaf Memories Buyback. I'm still looking to get the other buyback at a reasonable price.<br />

For those that have never heard of Loot Crate, it is a monthly subscription box filled with nerdy type things. There are plenty of these types of businesses. I know people that subscribe to a make-up box, fashion box and have seen plenty of others.<br />

The theme for this month's box was space travel. Loot Crate recently launched one of it's boxes into space (for the aliens for find) and filled this box with some things one might need on a space voyage. There is a mini magazine I forgot to take a picture of (but you can kinda see in the overview of the box) that has a article about the mohawk NASA guy, Bobak Ferdowsi. It was an interesting read.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was most excited to begin reading through the Star Wars Travel Guide. There was a lot of phrases I remember hearing in the movies, specifically the Ewok phrases like "yub yub" which apparently means "let's go" and "yum yum" which means tasty. The latter isn't too far of a stretch. There were plenty more but those are the 2 that stood out to me the most. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
All in all, I got what I expected. Some stuff I would not normally buy on my own but will definitely find a use for.</div>

I already had one of the <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/freemfr01.shtml" target="_blank">Freddie Freeman</a> X-Fractors but grabbed three more at this show.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=sims--001luc" target="_blank">Lucas Sims</a> is the Braves top prospect according to both <a href="http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/2014-atlanta-braves-top-10-prospects/" target="_blank">Baseball America</a>, <a href="http://www.minorleagueball.com/2013/12/4/5173214/atlanta-braves-top-20-prospects-for-2014" target="_blank">John Sickels</a> and Mike Rosenbaum of <a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1907071-atlanta-braves-top-10-prospects-for-2014/page/11" target="_blank">Bleacher Report</a>, drafted by the Braves in the 1st round (21st overall) in 2012 out of Brookwood High School in Northeast Atlanta. John Sickels has this opinion on him:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Grade B+: Borderline A-. All the attributes of a future number two starter. I want to see how he handles a larger workload going forward, but that’s nitpicking at this point. Clearly the class of the system. Went 12-4, 2.62 with 134/46 K/BB in 117 innings in Low-A, just 83 hits. Low-to-mid-90s, good curve and change, throws strikes, athletic. Complete package.</i></blockquote>
and Mike Rosenbaum this:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">6’2” right-hander is athletic with a live arm and little mileage; consistent arm slot and release point; made huge strides in overall development this past season after moving into starting rotation for second half; showcases impressive and underrated blend of stuff and polish; already knows how to pitch at a young age; flashes potential for a four-pitch mix of at least average offerings; pounds the strike zone.</span></i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lucas Sims’ fastball registers in the low- to mid-90s range; velocity increased a few ticks along with the weather; good arm-side life to the pitch; curveball is a hammer and swing-and-miss pitch; features big shape and heavy downer action in the upper 70s; showcased a quality slider during professional debut in 2012 but relied on it less this past year; changeup improved significantly this past season; flashes average potential in the low to mid-80s with late sink and fade to the arm side.</span></i></blockquote>

<br />
Like the Freddie, I already had one of the blue refractors and picked up three more at the show and grabbed five of the regular refractors.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=black-000jus" target="_blank">Justin Black</a> was taken in the same draft as Lucas by the Braves in the 4th round out of a high school in Montana. From what I can gather, he has HIGH upside but since he never played in high school (Montana doesn't have high school baseball), he is very raw.

Well here rounds out my pickups from December with the Atlanta Braves stuff I grabbed:<br />
<br />
2010 Topps Chrome Rookie Autographs #174 Jason Heyward<br />
2010 Topps Chrome Rookie Autographs Refractors #174 Jason Heyward #/499<br />
2010 Bowman Sterling Rookie Autographs #20 Jason Heyward<br />
2011 Bowman Chrome Rookie Autographs #205 Freddie Freeman<br />
2011 Topps Tier One On The Rise Autographs #CJ Chris Johnson #/699<br />
2011 Topps Chrome Rookie Autographs #217 Mike Minor<br />
2012 Topps Golden Moments Autographs #MMI Mike Minor S2<br />
<br />
These are the first autographs of these two guys I've had, but they're the ones I have now. Picked them up for about $10 each off eBay and a trader off Beckett.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, after the 2009 Bowman Chromes, <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/freemfr01.shtml" target="_blank">Freddie Freeman</a> got really lazy with his autographs and has got even <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.X2013+freddie+freeman+auto&_nkw=2013+freddie+freeman+auto&_sacat=0&_from=R40" target="_blank">lazier</a> lately by basically drawing two 7's with a line through them.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/heywaja01.shtml" target="_blank">Jason Heyward</a> started signing a full signature starting again in 2012. Pretty much all his 2010 and 2011 autographs look like these or lazier though.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/minormi01.shtml" target="_blank">Mike Minor</a> has always been pretty consistent with his signature since his USA and DEEE stuff.<br />
<br />
I find it pretty funny that the <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsch05.shtml" target="_blank">Chris Johnson</a> is only two years old and he is wearing a uniform from two teams ago.<br />

Had the opportunity to meet <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/u/ugglada01.shtml" target="_blank">Dan Uggla</a> yesterday. My shift was over at work, and I was waiting for my girlfriend to meet me so we could go to a brewery tour together. While I was waiting, he walked past the restaurant on his way to the bathroom. The conversation went something like this:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Me: Are you Dan Uggla?!?!<br />DU: Yes... (with a look of 'I wonder if this guy is going to yell at me, or be excited')<br />Me: That's awesome!</i></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, then he went to the bathroom. When he passed by the restaurant again, I asked if I could take a picture with him, and that's how this came to be. Dude is as jacked as all the stories of him working out would suggest. </div>

This makes Brave number 5 I've taken a picture with in public. The others being Brian McCann, Jeff Francouer, Yunel Escobar and Freddie Freeman.</div>

<br />
<a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=carati000vic" target="_blank">Victor Caratini</a> is the 2nd round pick of the Braves in 2013. Drafted as a catcher but it looks like they're trying to convert him to 3B.<br />
<br />
Anyone who follows the Braves at all HAS to know who <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=betanc001chr" target="_blank">Christian Bethancourt</a> is, so I won't bother.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=cabrer000mau" target="_blank">Mauricio Cabrera</a> is another international signing out of the Dominican. He can apparently touch triple digits on the radar guns. Supposed to top out as a 1 or 2, but is pretty far from that right now.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=stiffl000ian" target="_blank">Ian Stiffler</a> and <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=salaza004car" target="_blank">Carlos Salazar</a> are both 2013 Draft picks, Salazar in the 3rd round and Stiffler in the 7th.capncushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08096877306514260761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632990532139930825.post-27523732343031614052014-01-06T17:00:00.000-05:002014-06-01T14:39:21.786-04:00Recent Pickups: Jose Peraza, Luis Merejo FY Autos <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Why these 2 together you ask? Well, because I have a dual auto card of them and thought it'd be silly to make separate posts with the same card.<br />
<br />
Here's what's up there:<br />

<br />
They're both international signings, <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=peraza004jos" target="_blank">Jose Peraza</a> from Venezuela and <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=merejo002lui" target="_blank">Luis Merejo</a> from the Dominican.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.minorleagueball.com/2013/12/4/5173214/atlanta-braves-top-20-prospects-for-2014" target="_blank">John Sickels</a> has this to say about Peraza:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Grade B-: <i>Borderline B. Stole 64 bases in Low-A and has a slick glove at shortstop, but lack of power is problematic and I want to see how he handles High-A and Double-A pitching. Like Bethancourt, he will reach the majors on the strength of his defense and will probably have a long career, but will he be a strong regular or just a useful reserve?</i></span></blockquote>
The Braves see him as a potential leadoff hitter with great speed, playing well above average defense up the middle. I am a very big fan of <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/simmoan01.shtml">Andrelton Simmons</a> and hope he's a Brave for a long time, so I'm going to hope to see Peraza at 2B. You can read more about Peraza <a href="http://www.talkingchop.com/2013/12/11/5198610/getting-to-know-jose-peraza">here</a> and <a href="http://walkoffwalk.blogspot.com/2013/07/random-prospect-of-day-jose-peraza.html">here</a> if you're interested.<br />
<br />
Merejo had injury problems at the end of July that shut him down for the rest of the year but before that was striking people out at a rate of 9.9 K/9 in Danville. Hopefully he comes back strong next year and the Braves have another hard throwing lefty. Some more about him <a href="http://www.scoutingbook.com/players/p3331" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=hursh-001jas" target="_blank">Jason Hursh</a> is the 1st round pick (31st overall) for the Braves in 2013 out of Oklahoma State. Here's the story about his <a href="http://www.talkingchop.com/2013/6/6/4404556/braves-select-oklahoma-state-rhp-jason-hursh-with-the-31st-pick-of" target="_blank">draft</a> and a bit more about him.</div>

Here's what <a href="http://www.minorleagueball.com/2013/12/4/5173214/atlanta-braves-top-20-prospects-for-2014" target="_blank">John Sickels</a> has to say about him:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Grade B-: <i>I liked what I saw of first round pick Hursh at Oklahoma State, but he needs to refine his secondary pitches to go with the hard sinker. Need for better secondaries seems a common theme with Braves pitching prospects, but the organization has a good track record with young pitching.</i></blockquote>

I really like the look of the Leaf Trinity cards. The design and color of them almost make you forget they aren't licensed. The Metal is also appealing to me as well, but the blankness on the dark blue hat keeps reminding me of the atrocities Topps is putting us through.</div>

I have seen other inscription cards of him that read "<a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-Leaf-Trinity-JASON-HURSH-Inscription-SILVER-Auto-Autograph-RC-ed-09-10-/360826005099?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item5402e7e66b&nma=true&si=r5IDZrlLPqf%252BSMR8CBRIC5ms5rw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank">Oklahoma State Cowboys</a>" or just "<a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-LEAF-TRINITY-JASON-HURSH-SP-RC-AUTOGRAPH-30-INSCRIPTION-AUTO-/231120644949?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item35cfdd2b55&nma=true&si=r5IDZrlLPqf%252BSMR8CBRIC5ms5rw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank">Go Braves!</a>" and am excited to have the version I have.</div>
