Thread already about the card.

Big HYPE about him. #1 Pick for the Nationals in the '09 Draft. He's been killin' it in the Minors and his debut will be in early June. Nyjer Morgan coined him Jesus.

Also here is his 09 stats with San Diego St.
13-1, 109 Innings Pitches, 59 Hits Allowed, 16 Earned Runs, 19 Walks, 195 Strikeouts,
ERA of 1.32, and a WHIP of 0.72 .... Last start was a No-Hitter btw.

125,000+ hits....

with action like that, i hope the dude took the time to make a bunch of listings during the 10 day listing of the card...i didnt look at his other items, but im sure he got a ton of people who checked, and he could have done well using it as a cross promotion for other crap...

and seriously, how many people are going to ask where he got it :wall:
