His prices are on the rise, but still plenty of room to grow! Show off what you got!

hope he does well at the next level, i just picked up a bunch of his stuff

[statman32]

This will be a huge test for him but I think he is ready. I'm predicting him to be starting in the Majors by the beginning of next season or after the Super 2 date.

Pop 1!!

[RFulch40]

One of the nicest players I have ever met. I will be rooting for him for whatever team he plays for.

Only in baseball is moving to Alabama a promotion

[bronxbomber33]

Very nice, I am sitting on an orange 9.5/10, blue 9.5/10, ungraded blue, and i think a couple ref autos.

[dasiegel]

im trying to buy a few of his lately, picked up a gold 9.5 a blue 9.5 and some auto refs, i think this is the end of his prices being reasonable, if he does well at AA it will be the beginning of his Dylan Bundyish price jumps.

crazy how high his prices already are given that he's only just now moved up to AA.

good sign for collectors who have him though bc there is so much room for growth!

GREAT AA debut from Archie today: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 7 K.

I expect his prices to skyrocket from now till the end of the year.

AA is the true test as the hitters are much much better.

You could argue that AA has the most raw talent out of any levels.

I've been high (and BUYING) on Archie since he out-dueled Dylan Bundy in High School.......kid has ACE written all over him

Up until the past two weeks, his prices were incredibly low. Even now, there's still lots of upside left. Given the recent trend within prospecting, I'm actually surprised how low they still are. In my opinion, Archie Bradley's items will continue to rise for at least the next month. I have nearly $1K invested in him and could nearly double up right now, but am holding onto most as I still like the risk/reward scenario.

Also, certainly great to see how well AB did in his first AA start today!

I just woke up one day and realized his base autos were $20 near the end of the off-season and I tried my best to frantically grab as many as I could, great decision. Maybe the highest upside of any pitcher in minors, taijuan and bundy obviously are there, but archie has the raw stuff if he can ever harness it

wish i got on this guy earlier... after actually reading some stuff about his AA start, i'm expecting a major boom with his stuff, stay tuned!

[tajikey]

I'm sad I didn't get to see him play in Class A, considering I live in Visalia

Met the kid last summer and agree with RFulch40, Archie is hands down one of the nicest kids I have ever met in all my years going to minor league games. Spent a good while talking to my nephew and giving him pitching advise. Complete class act


Not much of a collecter but do purchase hobby boxes from time to time and the wife usually gets me some packs or box for my birthday and Christmas. Was lucky enough to pull one of his bowman chrome blue refractor autograph the other month. Looking forward to watching him progress and work his way up to the Dbacks lineup!

Funny you say Dylan Bundy

For a while, I seem to mix up the two - Dylan Bundy and Archie Bradley, before that it was Miguel Cabrera and Miguel Tejada, my current one is Corey Seager and Kyle Seager. Either it's from the stuff I smoke or I am c-i-x-e-l-s-y-d

Wish I had Bradley on my Bowman Prospect team

Seems like you had the same experience as I did! Archie was by far the nicest/classiest player I've ever met. I do a lot of graphing in low A so I have my fair share of experiences with all types of personalities and my experience with him is by far the most memorable. Took the time to sign all of my cards (16) and was genuninely happy to do so. He spent time talking to us after too. I only wish him the best of luck moving foward, he truly deserves it!
