Will Julio Rod. be next Trout game/price wise?
-
He certainly could be down the road. However, it won't be for a few years. There are only 8 or 9 actual LS gatekeepers each year(Judge, Ramirez, and Hader jumped way further in price than any that got upgraded to 90 in the past so they don't count this year) basically he just needs to be in the 8 or 9 highest rated players in the game
-
Julio Rod.?
His nickname is J Rod.
What do you call Pujols? The Mechanic?
-
Not even close... the gatekeepers are the best players in the game. He's had a good rookie year, but nobody thinks he is the best 3 or 4 players in baseball. Maybe in a couple years, but not proven enough to be compared to Trout, Acuna, etc.
-
Why, is Mike Trout retiring or something? One bad season is not going to let his card slide. As for JRod, I really hope he does become a great player, but this season isn’t even over yet.
-
Julio is definitely one of the best young talents MLB has seen in a while. I love it. With his talent and personality he’s great for the game but he’s got a long way to go to be the best player in baseball. I’m not saying that won’t ever happen but give it time. Will he be a diamond player for most of his career? Probably but it’s too early to say.
As a sports card collector you should try to get as many Julio cards you can now. They might be worth a pretty penny one day.

Mike Trout's most recent spinal condition could play a huge part in his value going forward. Could be nothing, could mean a lot of time off and reconditioning..who knows. He's downplaying it currently, so I guess we'll see what happens.
-
Julio is the real deal. If you think he is not one of the best players in the MLB, you haven’t watched him play enough.
-
Do you watch baseball? He’s not that elite. I know his HRD card is neat, but let’s not get carried away. He’s a nice player, but he’s not the best player in the game.
-
I heard that Aaron Judge Guy is pretty good at baseball.

Yeah, I think it's a little soon to be anointing him the next Trout. Why would he leapfrog Mookie, Acuna, Ohtani, Tatis, Soto, Degrom and all the other high priced diamonds. I love the kid don't get me wrong. He started super slow like Kelenic and then just made it look easy.
I thought so too, but you see how quickly they made Vladdy Jr a 'gatekeeper' to start this year? He just fell off so much since
-
Guys I'm not saying he's the best in the game, when I say gatekeeper I mean he will exceed 100K to start '23
They jumped Vladdy Jr up after like a year didn't they?

Not that elite? Only people in history to do what he has done this far are like Ellis Burks and Barry Bonds.
Yes, I do watch baseball.
You guys are funny.

I think he’ll be the cover athlete next year does that mean high diamond? Maybe..vmbut he will be that trout card within the next 2 years….imo

What do you mean? Hit a hr on 3 consecutive tuesdays? Do you think he is the only rookie to ever put up an .800 ops or 137 ops+?

Good point. I have a lot of respect for him as a person. Of course he is an extremely talented ball player. However, like you said, we will see what happens.

I like Judge. He is a great player - both at the plate and in the field - and he is a class act. He just needs to stay healthy, I don’t want him to turn into another Stanton.
-
I hope Julio Rodriguez does turn into a big star player. I just wouldn’t put a rookie in the same category as established stars. I have seen too many great rookies go on to struggle a season or two later. I’m not saying that will happen, but he has to maintain that level of play even after pitchers/teams have seen him more. I grew up watching Griffey Jr become who he did. These are generational talents. Let’s hope JRod becomes one.
-
Judge was RoY,runnerup MVP(a lot believe ge should have won) set the rookie home run record,ended season a diamond and still was a gold to start the next year.
There is nothing JRod can do to be a diamond next year let alone 90+ or a gatekeeper.( now SDS wil probab have him a dia next year after i said this,but im not wrong) -

He may be that guy someday... great prospect. To say he is one of the best players in base after half of his rookie season is crazy. He's not even putting up godly numbers this year... plenty of rookies have gotten rookie of the year with much better numbers and have never been called the best in baseball by any stretch. If he was batting .350 30 hr 100 rbi maybe you have a case here... but not even close to that kind of production. Last year Wander had better numbers and was that new rookie star... where is he among baseballs best players this year?
