Andrew McCutchen - Hottest Rookie of 2009?

McCutchen is off to a hot start this year. Looks like he has the five tool skills that the scouts raved about.

So far I don't see too much activity of his cards on ebay. The last 2004 AFLAC REF Auto BGS 9.5 RC went for $393, I was the second bidder at $375.

Is it because he is a Pirate? Or are fans taking a show me attitude. If he does stay hot, his AFLAC Auto RC could go nuts.

    maybe if he can stay OFF Aflac...... My money's still on Rick Porcello. sure i'm a biased Tiger fan, but he's got some killer numbers so far!!

    I have subbed 2 of his Bowman Chrome rookies and got a 10 on both. Last 2 PSA 10's sold on eBay only went for $21 and $23. Think I will wait a little longer to sell them.

    I agree. Even though I was second, I didn't expect to come that close to winning it. I thought it would have gone for at least $475ish. Maybe I should starting buying his cards. I've had a chance to see him play a few times on MLB network and he reminds me of Eric Davis before he got all injury prone.

    I have heard him compared to Eric Davis when Davis was a ute. I have a strong feeling that Davis was roided up for a long time. Would explain why his body broke down so fast.

    You think Eric the Red was on the roids during his monster 1987 season? I thought that was the juiced ball year because Boggs even hit 24 that year. His 1985 Donruss RC has a unique look to it, I may try to buy one to add to my fallen 80's heroes - Straw, Doc, Jose, Mac, Clemens......I dunno if Puckett falls in that category.

    Porcello is the goods, but there's a kid sitting in Baltimore that everyone is overlooking. I'm not talking about the catcher with more hype than a white heavyweight contender, but Nolan Reimold. He's not the youngest rookie out there, but the boy can rake!

    I would say anything in 2005

    Bowman Sterling
    and
    Topps Chrome are nice cards and pretty undervauled for a 5 tool player.

    IMHO it has to be the 2004 Bowman Chrome AFLAC Refractor Auto. It was limited to just 90, has an on-card auto, and is his first card period. Even though they are numbered to 125, Topps only sent out 90 due to a mix-up at the factory....the details are on Wikipedia if you are interested.

    If he paces to .300+, 15 HR, and 30 SB, this card will be in the $700 range at least.

    Thats way to much to pay for a guy who if he plays at his highest level possible he will be Curtis Granderson or Tori Hunter with worse defense. Wow those guys cards are burning up right now.

    Guy is nice complementary piece but until he can hit 25 to 30 HR's a year his cards aren't worth investing in.

    Currently completing the following registry sets: Cardinal HOF's, 1961 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1972 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1980 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, Bill Mazeroski Master & Basic Sets, Roberto Clemente Master & Basic Sets, Willie Stargell Master & Basic Sets and Terry Bradshaw Basic Set
