HOT ON THE RISE [week 1]

Hello, this is a new theme every 3-7 days I will have an on the rise player that you should buy into right now! Today for Part 1 of this weekly segment, the topic of discussion will be Michael Choice the prospect on the Athletics, he was the tenth overall pick in the 2010 Draft, he is very young but cards do go up when a prospect does well in the minor leagues. What this kid looks like is a guy with power in just 27 Northwestern League games he sent out 7 home runs, knocked in 26 RBIs, and batted about 284. Those are not bad numbers for just 27 games, he has great potential, but is very young. I am very impressed with the fact that he hit for average as well as power 284 is a darn good average, I mean Adam Dunn is a top MLB player he hits for power but could never really get the average were he wanted it, Michael Choice is hitting for average and power, that is something very special. He will probably start out the year in A or AA, but by the way he played in the Northwestern League I could see him defiantly playing well in the minors, this minor league year is a big year to determine his ETA, if he starts off this year well, we could see him in the majors in 2012 or 2013. I would say buy into his cards right now! his refractor auto, goes for about 30$ on eBay, and will rise depending on his play this season in the minors. If he does well which I predict him to do well thats gone from a 30$ card to at least 40-50$. His regular autograph goes for about 20$, his stuff is very cheap, and he is a dang good prospect.

I got his statics and when he was drafted from this link
