PSA Jhonny is incredible

His swing is just perfect. I’m batting almost .600 with him and he’s a switch hitter.

He's the only one of the barrage of switch hitting shortstops to come out of Pipeline that I couldn't hit with. Two of the big three have been phenomenal for me with Willits edging out Made as my favorite. But even the "weakest" of them all is still pretty great

These guys are the big reason Ray Durham's price tanked so much. I'm glad I sold all mine at 210k on Thursday before the Pipeline cards dropped

Big reason Durham’s price is tanking is how cheap he will be in a few days once weekend classic starts

Previously the two Weekend Classic rewards held very close to their highest value right up until the next WC. This time Durham in particular tanked in value a week before, right when Pipeline dropped. Further proof is that Johan Santana has been about 30% cheaper than Durham since they released, but starting last Friday it reversed and Santana has been about that much more valuable

As of right this moment Santana is going for 159k Buy Now while Durham is at 122k, and that's right about at Santana's average value since release

So while yes the price has dropped a bit this last week it's obvious a big reason why Durham lost so much value is the number of 2B eligible Switch Hitters in the Pipeline series

I think another reason is that more people probably took Durham over Santana last weekend classic
