In truth they had already decided on Jones, whom Cox had traveled to Jacksonville to see play four times, and it was one of those last visits that Larry Jones Sr. It was the finals of the district tournament and Cox was joined by a contingent that included Snyder, minor league field coordinator Bobby Dews, and assistant director of scouting Rod Gilbreath.
Jones came up to bat in the first inning and hit a home run right-handed, then later hit another left-handed on the first swing, the ball landing in the street behind the park. We always wanted to sign Chipper Jones. They had been expecting Chipper to go to the Mariners, who held the number-six selection, should he fall that far, though the father had hopes that his son would wind up with the Dodgers.
If you are going to flip, my advice would be to stick with cards you wouldn't be upset if you lost, and you wouldn't be upset if you got stuck with. For example, I was flipping the milestone Cavan Biggio when he was in the k range. I sold him and stopped checking the market for a while.
Next time I went on he was in the K range. Now, I could buy him back, but at this point that's 30K more than the last time I bought him , and it's a card I don't really need. If he ever goes back down I may pick him up, but for now he's out of my range and I've turned my attention elsewhere.
You could also end up in a situation where you're flipping a card worth 15k, and something happens and his value drops down to K. Now you can eat that loss and just sell him, or you can decide you're okay with keeping him around.
The market can fluctuate quite a bit, so you just have to make sure you don't risk anymore than you're willing to lose. Game Support My Account. Community Forum. No matches found Search.

That's something the Braves have been missing -- a bona fide table-setter.
Jones: Four-hundred home runs and 10 Gold Gloves. You probably would mention Andruw to most voters, and they would go, 'No. It might not be first-ballot, but second or third. What about a contemporary at your position, Scott Rolen?
Jones: Scott was one of the best athletes I ever played against. That guy was a freak. I was often envious of his defensive prowess. I think I stacked up well hitting-wise, but defensively he was head-and-shoulders [above]. He and Andruw were both unbelievable at certain points during their career. You saw both Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer in their very early days. Jones: Kerry Wood had the best fastball. He threw one at my kneecaps once.
He might not have thrown , but it looked like it. Jones: I hit a couple off Wood too. Jones: Kerry Wood had a really good curve too. Jones: Hideo Nomo 's split-finger. I went 0-for off Nomo before I got a base hit. It came out the same arm slot and same arm speed [as his fastball].
It was impossible to pick up. If he tips his curveball. If he comes to the side on his slider. You can pick up a lot if you just watch.
A rare snowstorm struck Atlanta this week, and one tale of heroism came out of it. Well, sort of a tale of heroism. More like one rich guy heroically picked up another rich guy on an ATV. I'm thinking abt sending RealCJ10 on rescue runs.. Rescuing FreddieFreeman5 now… pic. Guess what?? It's really cold on the streets of Roswell and crabapple on a 4 wheeler! But my boy FreddieFreeman5 was stranded.
