I’m kind of curious why this guy’s rookie card is worth anything at all. Beckett lists the card value as up to $1.50. I’m guessing that’s old information, because by looking at his stats (93.2 IP, 4-9, 6.34 ERA, 6.7 SO/9) and age (25), he looks like a dud. Anyways, what do I know?
“Craig was an all-around kind of kid, playing each sport in its season, and not really considering baseball his first love. In time, however, he commanded a scholarship to St. John’s, where he was the 2005 Big East Pitcher of the Year. After only 12 Minor League outings — all scoreless — he became the first player to reach Boston the year he was drafted.“
