Bench Trade

It was a long weekend in my household.  My daughter got married on Saturday.  From the time pictures started at 10 in the morning until we finished cleaning the dance hall at 11:30, it was a long day.  Everything went great though, and I would not trade it for the world.  I spent a good portion of Sunday napping on the couch.  I had some spare time in the evening to go through Saturday's mail.  It contained my first trade from The Bench website this year.  I received a nice trio of Cardinals from member desertdogg.

It is great to see Walker finally living up to his potential.  Saturday he hit his 18th home run with an exit velo close to 117 mph.  He will most likely be the Cardinals All Star selection this year.  Nice to add a 2024 Heritage Chrome numbered to 375.

Wetherholt is also having a good year.  He should be in the top 3 Rookie of the Year voting at this point.

Victor Scott is on the opposite end of the performance spectrum.  After not hitting above .200 for the better part of the year, he was sent down to Triple A last week.  I hope he can get his swing worked out and come back as the starting centerfielder in a few weeks.  So far he has 6 hits in 4 games including 3 for extra bases.  Maybe it will be easier to add his cards to my collection for awhile.
