Jose Abreu bat

The only other bat I have seen was through MLB and it sold for 7K. First bat on the secondary market.

I imagine there will be quit a few at soxfest for about $13500 cheaper.

I just don't get it. If I had the disposable income I would much rather drop it on some old items like Mantle, Ruth, Brett, Ryan, Mays, Aaron, Clemente and etc. The chances that these up and comers ever make the HOF or do anything significant is small. You're spending THOUSANDS on a 26 year old rookie of the year?

Here is a short list of some names that have something in common with Jose:

Hamelin
Karros
Berroa
Soto
Weiss
Horner
Sax
Strawberry

Imagine paying BIG BIG dollars for any of these guys.

Abreu is better than all of those players. If the Sox acquire some protection for him, say, Victor Martinez, Abreu will have an even better 2015.

Let's remember, just because someone is asking a certain price for something doesn't mean he'll get it.

I get that he's better. However he's also about to be 28 years old so no way he even makes it to the Hall of Fame. And if I remember correctly, one of his bats sold for around 8000 bucks earlier in the year.

Plus listing those was just an example off the top of my head of some previous Rookies of the Year. It wasn't intended to compare.

A few more items popped up on mlb auctions. Can't believe a signed ball with ROY inscription is at $325.
