The Value Angles
- McGonigle - $75-85 raw for MLB #7 overall is absurd value. One of the best hit tools on the entire roster.
- Walcott - Down 40% creates entry point for Texas #1 prospect
- Caldwell - Huge drop after 2025 Bowman release seems a bit drastic, a similar play to McGonigle even further under the radar.
Avoid:
- Most pitchers under $20 (ceiling capped regardless of talent)
- Anyone over 23 (limited upside development)
- Hype-driven buys of less desirable parallels based on one game (/299 Speckles, /250 purples
Who We're Watching
The Futures Game has launched players like Fernando Tatis Jr., Ronald Acuña Jr., and Corey Seager. With 35 Top-100 prospects taking the field, Saturday's seven innings showcase the next wave of $10,000 Superfractors getting their close-ups.
We've covered plenty of players recently we think could rise later this year: CJ Kayfus, Braden Montgomery and Lazaro Montes. They all have a chance to shine tomorrow.
Most collectors will focus on the teenage phenoms (Made, De Vries) but we're recommending watching severely undervalued elite prospects such as McGonigle and Caldwell while avoiding the pricing traps (overvalued pitchers, aging prospects).
Enjoy watching the future of the MLB tomorrow!
