I wanted some people's opinions on Casey Mize. Possibly even a fewTigers fans, but I'm not sure how many them exist. I know the hype was high after being drafted and that hype fell dramatically after his sketchy debut season, but considering the circumstances there were a lot of players that had an off year, not only in baseball other sports as well. He is having, from what it looks like on paper, somewhat of a decent season considering he's on a subpar team. I don't see many if any at all Tigers games televised in my area. The Phils are brocasted on our local network and then there's ESPN which I don't know how many of their games have been televised there. I am assuming not too many considering they are the Tigers. (Sorry Tigers fans there arent too many teams I can talk like this about considering I am a Phillies fan). Anyway I haven't seen him pitch other than highlights. This season his stats are not bad at all, don't get me wrong they aren't great either but for a 2nd year starter and the first year just 7 starts with a 6.99 era and under the abnormal conditions it's understandable. He was just getting his feet wet. So far this year I see that he has a record of 6-5 with an era of 3.41 which is not elite but much improved after his shaky debut season. One can only assume he will get better with time. Right? I'm just curious because this morning after I woke and got up and moving I opened up several packs of t206 that came in the mail on Mon. or Tues. (and yes I lasted all week before ripping them). Well I pulled a 1/1 of his and was just interested in opinions of other people since I am not too familiar with him. I was wondering if people are expecting big things from him in the future. What they thought on how his career may play out like if they thought he will be an Ace or a mid rotation starter. So what I'm really asking is should I hold onto this card? Or let it go? I'm leaning towards holding it considering I only pd $14.99 for a pack and after his shakey debut season his value dropped quite a bit. So even if I decided to let it go I don't think I would get that much for it. I think it would be better to wait and see how his career goes the next few seasons and reconsider then. There is no risk involved since I didn't pay a premium for it, but that's just my opinion and I would like to hear what other collectors thought.
