One of my 2014 collecting goals was to get autographed gold parallels from Bowman of the Pirates top prospects each year. After a few days of thinking about it, I quickly changed my thoughts and goals to the Bowman black autographs with silver ink. These just look so much nicer to me and I already have shown off the Bowman Blacks for Tyler Glasnow, Jameson Taillon, Gerrit Cole, and Starling Marte. I am hoping to be adding Reese McGuire, Austin Meadows, and Alen Hanson by the year.

| 2013 Bowman Black 5/25 |
The above Bowman Black ran me $125 which is significantly cheaper than what some of them were going for at the start of the season ($300 plus range)
I'm excited to see what he can do. Maybe he can teach Pedro how to hit a lefty.
ReplyDeleteWe need to get a starting pitcher. Doesn't have to be someone flashy. We just need a guy that can go 6 innings consistently.
...preferably a left-handed starter.
ReplyDeleteBesides former All-Star Jeff Locke?
DeleteYup... unless we start Wilson, Locke is our only lefty starter next year. Look at our forthcoming starters: Taillon, Glasnow, Kingman, Heredia, Holms, Pimentel... all righies. Joely Rodriguez is the closest thing we have in the minors and hes at least a year away from the show.
ReplyDelete...and by 'Holms' I meant 'Holmes'... bloody hard to type on a Droid!
DeleteOur whole division only has 1 LHP per team so if Locke is all we got, then I'm OK with it. Wilson needs to stay in the pen. Hes such a late inning weapon when you desperately need a K.
DeleteNiether St. Louis nor Cincinnati are hitting lefties well this year... I'd like depth there to exploit this in case Liriano doesn't regain his control or if, God forbid, something would happen to Locke.
