TCDB Package

This is not the most exciting post in the world.  It's a small package from a TCDB transaction.  I actually was not expecting anything at all here.  This one started out as a purchase of a Connor Wong card, but the other member came back after everything was agreed upon and said the card was gone.  He offered to send me something else and I told him that was not necessary, but he insisted.  He also refunded the purchase price.  So, these cards were essentially free.  Can't argue with that.

1.  Jason Bay.  This is the Opening Day blue parallel.  Bay had an impressive stint with the Red Sox after being acquired in the massive three-team deal that sent Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers.  He hit nine home runs with a .293/.370/.527 line after being acquired.  In his only full season in Boston, he hit .267/.384/.537 with 36 home runs and 119 RBIs.  He was an All Star for the third time in his career, finished seventh in the MVP race and won the only Silver Slugger in his career.  He then signed a big deal with the Mets and mostly disappeared.

2.  Triston Casas.  After a very slow start to his career, Casas seems to be coming around.  His power is not all the way present in the Majors, but he has hit nine home runs this year and he takes a lot of walks.  This is his rookie season so there is room to grow and improve.
