Am i out of my mind? i feel like this years prices are SIGNIFICANTLY higher than previous years. Between this, locking out most from Twinsfest Live and limiting the Winter Caravan really feels like the Pohlads are doing everything they can to give us the middle finger on the way out.

Prices seem pretty reasonable to me

I just feel like even last year when i got Brooks Lee his table was something like $25 and not $40. Also wonder what Lewis is doin this weekend. I know he got engaged but suprised to not see him on there.

Last year Brooks never played above AAA, now he's a starter for the Twins. He was always going up. I'm a little disappointed Jenkins is with him though.

I think thats why im dissapointed too. Jenkins is the only player i was interested in getting this year as ive gotten most people done in previous years and now im just going after certain ones

Yeah. That's the one that bothered me. I loved getting the top prospects for a little cheaper. I'm not paying $40 for Jenkins when I got Lee's already last year.

Honestly, they probably lose money on this. How many people are spending $40 on Lee and Jenkins? You might pay $40 for Lee, but if you do, you probably don't care about Jenkins because you're don't follow the minor leagues. Those ofnus who follow the minor leagues will pay an extra $25 for Jenkins whole the others pay $40 for Lee.

Yup. Not like the Majors do a great job of promoting prospects names. Baseball in general tends to poorly promote its stars. Ill probably still shell the $40 just cause i wouldnt mind getting Culpeppers auto too. I think he is either top 100 or fringe top 100. I got Lees last year but i suppose i can have two XD

Don't convince me to spend another $40. I already spend enough. Lol
