Definitely over-hyped, as most young players are these days.
Potential though to be a very good player. He kind of choked in the Playoffs last year, but again he is young, so we'll see. Griffey Jr was only 19 his first season, Rodriquez was 22. 3 year difference is pretty big. No way I compare him to Jr at this point. But again he could/should be a very good player. Just over-hyped at the moment. |

He’s a generational talent playing centerfield for Seattle. Why not talk about him in relation to Griffey?

Who wasn’t hyped in your opinion? Meaning who did you hear about see play and think it was the real thing? If not Julio.
Griffey was a god before he was a MLB superstar too. There’s a reason he was the first card in 89 UD. He hit 264 that year. People had a feeling they knew what they were looking at though. Last edited by packs; 02-26-2023 at 04:28 PM. |

As do guys who end up with a nice career but not a HOF one. Strawberry, Gooden, Eric Davis, Canseco, Mattingly, I could go on.

Yeah but I was asking who you think wasn’t hyped. What I’m getting at is whether or not it’s possible to be the next big thing without being criticized over expectations.

Lebron James certainly was worth all the hype...however what is the ratio and remember a lot of these hyped cards will end up being worth 99% less 5 years later than what they sell for in the first year Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 02-26-2023 at 06:20 PM. |

I hope Rodriquez succeeds but his season was good but agreed over hyped
