geez Jeff did you raid the locker room wharehouse at Chase

Was that you checking out the auction table downstairs on Thursday night? I thought it may have been you but I was chasing my kid so I didn't have time to stop. I ended up grabbing the Kelly Johnson helmet that night from the auction though.

sorry that should have been Saturday night, not Thursday.

Nice Bats Jeff

Would love to get my hands on one of Goldschmidt's bats

In my dreams. I frequently fantasize about saving the GM's kid from being run over in traffic, or something, and him asking me what he can do for me. I'd say, "The key to that room down by the visitor's locker room and the loan of a laundry cart."

No, I just met somebody, through an eBay sale, with some ST connections and a garage full of bats. Update your "Items Wanted" lists, 'cause he may start posting here soon.

As you can probably tell, I love prospects' bats. I get more excited about picking up a Jae Yun Kim or a Paul Goldschmidt than I do about getting another Montero or Drew. I'm hoping that some of these guys end up in the Arizona Fall League in the next year or two, so I can get them signed.

Yeah, I was there Saturday night, and I did stop by the auction table. I wasn't aware that they'd started those up again. I saw that they started the Josh Wilson bat at only $20, and I probably would have put a bid in on that, but I knew that if I did I would be forced by curiosity to come down to the first deck at the end of the sixth inning to see if I'd won, and I didn't want to miss any of the game. In retrospect, a good decision, I think. That was one of the longest nine inning games I've ever seen, but worth the wait.

Yeah, that's a nice one to have. I'm hoping that he comes to the Arizona Fall League this year...only the way he's hitting, he may be on the Major League roster before the end of the season.

Jeff I sent you a PM I didn't want to hijack this thread discussing Dbacks auctions.

Looks like you picked up one of just about everybody....except Brandon Allen unfortunately...

Career baseball #1773 was nabbed tonight during Mets BP at Wrigley Field...I also may be getting a shipment from a Mets player to mention when the June Pickups thread comes around.

No, they grade bats. Its based on the criteria stated in that link (its kind of bs), but if a bat is cracked at all its unlikely you'll get a 10. Trust me, that Cabrera is about as good as it gets, nice pick up.
