New Arrival: Maui Ahuna, ss, San Francisco Giants

New Arrival: Maui Ahuna, ss, San Francisco Giants … Maui Ahuna is from Hilo, but I never got him while he was in high school since I was not paying too close attention to Hawaii prep players at the time. He is one of the big reasons I have started[…]

New Arrival: Frank Thomas, 1b, Chicago White Sox

Frank Thomas was a very good player. I think some people forget how good. In 19 seasons in the big leagues, Frank Thomas hit .301/.419/.555, hitting 521 HR. He retired with an OPS+ of 156 and OPS of .974. He accumulated 73.9 WAR. He was selected to five All-Star games,[…]

New Arrivals: Carlos Baerga, if, Cleveland Indians

Carlos Baerga was a key player on the powerhouse Indians teams that I grew up with. For several seasons he was one of the best second basemen in baseball and looked like he might very well be on a Hall of Fame trajectory. From 1992 to 1995 he hit .315/.350/.476,[…]

New Arrival: Joe Mays, sp, Minnesota Twins

Joe Mays was drafted in the 6th round (161st overall) by the Seattle Mariners in 1994. He pitched well in the low minors, and in 1997 was traded to the Twins. Mays was a well thought of prospect by the time he reached the majors in 1999, ranking the teams[…]

New Arrival: Ben Sheets, sp, Milwaukee Brewers

Ben Sheets. He was a promising prospect, taken 10th overall in the 1999 draft. He made it to the majors in 2001 and would go 11-10 with a 4.76 ERA/90 ERA+, earning his first All-Star game appearance. From 2001-2008 Sheet would go 86-83 with a 115 ERA+, 1.201 WHIP. He[…]

New Arrival: Joc Pederson, of, Los Angeles Dodgers

I have been eyeballing this card for a couple years now and was finally able to snag one for under $10. Pretty happy. Joc Pederson was drafted in the 11th round (352nd overall) by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2010. He moved quickly through the system, and by 2013 was[…]

New Arrival! Randy Johnson, sp, Montreal Expos

There is nothing that I can say about Randy Johnson‘s career that you don’t already know. He was really, really good: 10 All-star game selections 5 x Cy Young Awards 2001 World Series Champion and World Series MVP 4 x ERA titles 303-166 career record Inducted into the Hall of[…]

New Arrival! Matt Lawton, of, Cleveland Indians

I have been trying to get this card–from the 2001 Topps Heritage set–for a while. There are a couple on eBay, but the BINs are (shock!) too hight. I knew if I waited it out I could get it for half what they are offering. And I was right. I[…]

New Arrival: Evan Longoria, 3b, Tampa Bay Rays

2014 Panini National Treasures. This card cost me less than $10. That should say something about where he is in his career. Evan Longoria just finished his 10th year in the big leagues. At, at 31 years old, it was his worst. He hit .259/.312/.422 with 20 HR, good for[…]
