Why the flood of Juan Sotos in the AH?

Did his value suddenly go up or down?

Does a flood of cards usually indicate people are buying low and selling high or bailing on a card that's going down?

My guess is someone had been buying up Soto cards when he was at 99, hoping he'd get the bump up to perfect. That's not going to happen, so he's cutting his losses.

yep. He has been terrible since coming back, wouldnt be shocked at a drop to 95 after the update.

Selling out that investment is going to lose someone around 50K+ points I would guess since he was going for around 10-12K earlier

I do think it kinda kills the value a bit even more by listing all of them at once. I've got one that I'm going to sell after this season too

Is Joey Gallo worth it? His value went up to Diamond. High power, but low contact and LOW avoid strikeout.

What about Eloy Jiminez? His value went up too.

(Looking for left fielder...)

I have found Jimenez isn't as good as his ratings would lead you to believe. I'd go with Gallo myself, but I've also got a ballpark that favors LH power hitter too, so that counts for something, I guess.

Went with Jiminez - LOL. Well I guess I'll find out!
