2008 Donruss Elite Extra Edition /75 Josh Harrison
Josh Harrison is one of those rare everyday players that doesn't have a ton of prospect oriented cards to chase. In today's collecting environment I find that refreshing. 2008 Donruss Elite was pretty much it for Harrison until his breakout 2014 season. I've accumulated several different versions over the years with this /75 being the most recent.
It started to look like the deal the Pirates gave Harrison might go south, but he has rebounded nicely this season. If the Buccos become sellers in the coming weeks it wouldn't surprise me if the Pirates look to shop Harrison to get out of a 10.5 million commitment next season. The contract also has team options for 2019 and 2020 so it would give the acquiring team some flexibility.
Hope everyone has a fun (almost) holiday weekend.
Thanks for reading.
*sigh* sure, the Cubs are pretty set in the infield, but it sure would have been nice to get something more for Harrison than Grabow and Gorzelanny. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is that deal was centered around the Pirates getting Kevin Hart!
DeleteI remember Harrison fondly from his time in P-town. I'm glad he's found a home in Pittsburgh (for now).
ReplyDeleteHe has overachieved so much from his initial prospect status. He went from nobody, to fringe prospect, to utility player and finally everyday player in a three year span.
DeleteThat does sound refreshing.
ReplyDeleteSometimes its nice to actually have a player that has an attainable amount of cards.
