Are These 3 Players' Cards In Trouble? 😬

Baseball card collecting can be tough sometimes. A player may seem like a great buy based off of historic play and success, but baseball is such a hard sport that things can change quickly. In this video I look at 3 players' baseball cards and see if they are in trouble after a rough few years.

[@Hardball247]

How does someone like you don't get a Topps Big League influencer SP card? You educate the hobby in positive ways that kids need to hear.

[@hansel7532]

Probably bc topps only likes the pumpers and “only positive vibes”.. and not the actuals

[@305CardCollector]

Those cards are terrible anyways!

[@ThatwasaSTRIKE]

To me it looks like they put the guys that break a lot of their product on those cards

[@dylanrichey8332]

I'd assume it's because he doesn't rip cards.

[@chrisc4264]

If you don't think Stryker also educates, then you're sorely mistaken. I agree Scottie is knowledgeable but tbh there are too many influencer type cards as it is. Gary Vee was a cardboard carpetbagger and got his own a few years ago.

[@dsphillips16]

In a few years people are going to be saying the same things about Aaron Judge that you said about Stanton in this video.

[@davidthecardcollector]

Yea, if he stayed healthy he might have 500 home runs before 1000 hits. 😂

[@fear0]

and....lets REALLY get some fights going but....Trout as well. He has next to nothing around him in the lineup and has too many health issues. He had a STUPID GOOD run but personally I think his numbers will never be remotely the same

[@adamfalls-kz3iz]

No. Aaron Judge is an iconic player. He plays defense and hits at a higher level than anybody else on the Yankees team.... including Juan Soto. Judge is on track to hit 50+ home runs twice more. He's not nearly as touchy to be injured as Stanton. Stanton is a straight up pussy, but he sure can hit a baseball really freaking hard when he makes contact.

[@Eliteco3]

I think Mookie Betts’ cards are safe

[@rockiesinoctober]

Scottie is a future hall of famer. I'm investing in him.

[@dsphillips16]

Can you even edit videos bro?

[@JohnMiller-jj9kx]

Scottie, kind of funny how you mentioned the old school methods of HOF selection. I enjoy your modern view and how you guys use all the newest measurements to select candidates, or at least their probability of entering the Hall. I take a snapshot look at five categories and want to see a player have at least three of them. A know it’s just a preliminary glance and not a great standard to adhere to. In my short sighted world you would need to meet or exceed in the following: Runs-1100, RBIs-1200, Hits- 2200, BA-.300, WAR-50. I know, I know this doesn’t fit every position player, but I think that every player should have a high and similar caliber of defensive skills. Ozzie Smith’s best year shows he only had 7 errors and his worse year he had 25. So how many of those errors resulted in a game loss? IDK, but I think very few for each year. Again every player should have really good defensive skills just to play in MLB. The HOF requires greatness, not perfection. Please feel free to discuss this further if you choose, no offense taken. I enjoy your shows and glean lots of player decisions based on your information. Thanks Scottie

[@mannyball2198]

Scotty why you trying to crash my Giancarlo collection?

[@Bryan45552]

Yelich will be a Hall of Famer....Brewers Hall of Famer 😂 As a Brewers fan, he'll always have a hobby, just like Prince Fielder. I've been buying Brewers Prince Fielder cards on COMC to build up the Brewers PC. And yes, I also PC Yelich.

[@dawnvasquez1139]

Well done....more videos about current player potential (cpp) Betts...freeman...Ohtani.... Best top 3 in batting order ever???? P3.

[@mattofficer6434]

Yelich is my favorite player and I'm not a brewers fan, his bounce back last year was fun to watch and I hope this year is back to full MVP form

[@mnak4421]

All 3 players have not been hobby relevant for more than a few years now, and in the case of Semien, never (though he's probably the most consistent player of the 3). Its pretty hard to impossible for a player to regain their hobby relevance after more than a couple years of obscurity. Nice little tidbits though and stat summaries as usual!

[@smartluck100]

Hey Scottie, Given the Otani interpreter scandal, should I sell his cards or hold?

[@kerouac906]

Pity about Giancarlo missing most of the juiced ball 2019 season... He could have tacked 40-50 on to his career totals!

[@arronlane6587]

Hey didn't u do a video on Bobby Witt Jr's best rookie cards or was it someone else? Thanks for yr videos

[@adamfalls-kz3iz]

Stanton is a HOF for sure, and yet still a huge under achiever for his career.

[@yeetboi6806]

Hey Scottie love the video It pains me that Stanton is on the list but i understand why.

[@wutango36o]

All 3 are duds from a value perspective...

[@darrellvandommelen3793]

[@danieljohns6084]

[@rdj3video]

If you listen to Stanton in spring trading interviews you can sense he knows he’s “Hot Garbage” but will do everything he can to reverse that viewpoint.

[@jmsportscards1046]

Awesome info. Much appreciated

[@TenaciousAC]

A weird stat that somehow benefits Giancarlo. Of the 500 Club, 8 players needed less than 10,000 Plate Appearances to get there. Giancarlo’s gotten 402 in 6437. So he needs 98 HR and can use 3563 PAs to get there. 400 PAs a year….. a Homer every 15 PAs, it’s an agonising 4 years to get there (Age-37 season) and I don’t think he does it in a Yankees uniform by the end of it, even with the Marlins covering a good chunk of the salary by then.

[@tubenachos]

I am done with Vlad Jr, I've seen enough and sold all his RC autographs.

[@gcheath19]

I don't think many people were collecting these players to begin with outside of super collectors. None of them will be HOFers.

[@willzsportscards]

Hey Scottie, good stuff! I really like the format with the anonymous stats, makes for a fun game etc. I didn't realize what a cliff Stanton fell off of the last two years. Not looking so good there.

[@joedill4311]

Over the years, I've come to appreciate this channel more than nearly all of the other "card channels" (except Step in the Box who is my very favorite!)

[@Krysdavar]

Didn't realize that about Semien. Will definitely keep an eye on that guy. He may be a late bloomer who knocks out 3 or 4 more years of 6+ WAR. He's had 7+ the past 2 out of 3 years. I mean look at Goldschmidt winning MVP in 2022 in his age 34 year. Goldy actually has had more 30+ HR seasons AFTER turning 30 (4) than prior (3). Would make an interesting video - late bloomers who weren't on the radar, suddenly in semi questionable HoF conversation after having several good seasons after turning 30.

[@rsuriyop]

Adrian Beltre, David Ortiz, and Phil Neikro would lead that list of late bloomers making it into the HOF. If they could do it, then it’s certainly possible for Marcus Semien.

[@Krysdavar]

This is true.

[@sunny8784]

stanton will get better. he lost a ton of weight, and he will undoubtedly will make 500 club.

[@scottiebcards2354]

If he can get there then his HOF odds are really strong!

[@sunny8784]

@@scottiebcards2354 hes been looking great on the yankees this year so far. He made some adjustments to his batting stance, and losing weight may prevent him from getting any injuries.

[@GianniRips]

Enjoyed this video, thanks Scottie!

[@Mikeygee99]

Great analysis!

[@davidthecardcollector]

None of those guys with exception of Stanton ever had a chance to be in the HOF. HOF is supposed to be reserved for the best of the best, not for everyone that was good.

[@scottiebcards2354]

Hi David I agree, but a few years ago people anticipated Yelich making it and Semien is someone I see people actively speculating on so I wanted to mention him and the uphill battle that he has.

[@Tmalbers21]

Thanks for the Brewer fan love 👍

[@tedjerdee1028]

Stanton is probably the best bet out of the three. He should hit 500 hrs which will solidify his value as greater than 0 in the hobby. Yelich and Semien are lost causes unless they somehow have multiple MVP caliber seasons in their mid/late 30's. You either have to have high WAR, BA, or HR's to be relevant now a days. Gold gloves are useless, OPS+ is semi useless, 3k hits is becoming less relevant, and even BA is a weak case unless you are part of a winning franchise or have other accolades

[@garygordon3075]

Stanton won't get in If Sheffield can't get in after over 500 homers

[@tedjerdee1028]

@@garygordon3075 Sheffield kinda got screwed with the steroid allegations which IMO is the sole reason why he isn't in the HOF. By all metrics, maybe other than WAR, he is a HOF

Is t Nelson Cruz over 500 HomeRuns?

[@scottiebcards2354]

Nelson Cruz ended his career with 464 :(. He also had a PED suspension so he wouldn't have made it most likely.

[@Carliferz]

Stanton will get to 500.

[@dr.gaberosenthal5319]

Correa, Lindor, Vlad Jr are another 3. Trout has a lot to prove if he’s an all time great or a super fast starter

[@LambeauLeeeper]

lol Fast starter? He was consistently the best player for 10 straight years. 😂😂😂

[@dr.gaberosenthal5319]

@@LambeauLeeeper he is great. He needs more big years to be an all time great. No question about it. He won’t be in the top ten discussion even without more big seasons

[@willzsportscards]

@@dr.gaberosenthal5319 depends on who you ask. Game is changing. Careers post PEDs seem to be shortening again. In my book Trout is already there. Look at Pujols. Dude fell off a cliff after ten years, but he's pretty much a pantheon guy now.

[@rsuriyop]

By now Trout is already a legit slam dunk future HOF’er; he could put up mediocre numbers the rest of the way through and he’ll still make it in.

[@dr.gaberosenthal5319]

@@rsuriyop no one would disagree. He just had a trajectory that was top 3-5 ever and now it’s barely top 20

[@vanbeekbr]

None of these three deserve to be in the hall. Only way Stanton gets in is because he's a Yankee. He is no where near being a HOF player.

[@smartluck100]

Agreed! If Andruw Jones was a Yankee, Red Sock, Dodger or Cub for 15 straight years, he’d be in the Hall of Fame.

[@IsaidQUIETnHERE]

Stanton, yes. Yellich & Semien...they'll get in after they pass away, sadly.

[@tommygodwin609]

STANTON will be a HOF player dude.

[@garygordon3075]

Doubtful

[@tubenachos]

I think NO

[@grownmanlookingatsportscar194]
