Care to guess which one?
I suppose it depends on which way you go with it, but these were several transactions to obtain a few Marcelo Mayer cards. I showed off my first card a little while ago, but 2022 saw him start to appear in a few more sets, primarily Bowman stuff. Mayer is Boston's top prospect, but as a high schooler drafted in 2021, it may be another year or two before he is ready to play at the highest level. He had an impressive year in 2022, hitting .280 with 13 home runs, 53 RBIs and 17 stolen bases. He made it to High-A last year. I would expect him to start there with a good chance of making it to Double A by the end of the season.
The Carl Crawford card was one of several extras thrown into one of the packages. It just so happened I did not have that card. The action shot is nice. Crawford was one of my biggest disappointments. He was such a great player for Tampa Bay and had one of his best seasons before signing with Boston. His numbers just plummeted with the Red Sox.
Finally, Tyler McDonough appears on the third card. McDonough was the third-round pick in the 2021 draft. Notably, the second-round pick, Jud Fabian, did not sign. McDonough was drafted out of a college, a senior sign, and also made it to High-A in 2022. He hit .230 with nine home runs, 48 RBIs and 21 stolen bases. His ceiling is that of a utility player. I don't love his chances of making the Majors.
