Quick question everyone...when is the latest ST TTM should be sent out?

I'll be sending my last ones out in 1.5 to 2 weeks from now - and that is about the cut off date I think most will agree with. I came out with only 19 of them still out there, and the other 30 signed and 1 refused (there's some encouragement for you).

Here's my list of the 37 I'm probably sending out soon, but if you have a BETTER SUGGESTION for me, I'd love to hear it. I had to fill out the list with players I was going to send to during the season because I couldn't find anything to send to some guys who are signing (Cecil, Weiters, Wood, Crow are a few good examples)

Anderson, Matt
Belliard, Ronnie
Berra, Yogi - maybe Yankees ST???
Cantu, Jorge
Chamberlain, Joba
Damon, Johnny
Descalso, Daniel
Dickey, R.A.
Drabek, Kyle
Feliz, Neftali
Figgins, Chone
Garcia, Freddy
Gee, Dillon
Guerrero, Vladimir
Hamilton, Josh
Hudson, Daniel
Ishikawa, Travis
Jay, John
Jones, Chipper
LaRussa, Tony
LeBlanc, Wade
Lucroy, Jonathan
McGwire, Mark - long shot of the year
Morgan, Nyjer
Okajima, Hideki
Olsen, Scott
Putz, J.J.
Rhodes, Arthur
Sabathia, CC
Sale, Chris
Soriano, Rafael
Thornton, Matt
Valverde, Jose
Vargas, Jason
Vizquel, Omar
Walker, Neil
Wood, Kerry

Already sent on 2/17/11:

Axford, John
Bell, Heath
Billingsley, Chad

I told myself that I would only send to a few Mets this spring training given my poor results last season. However, once I saw the customs I was making I kept going and going. Just sent out about 20 requests. Looking back, I guess I would have rather sent them a week or two back, but hey, I guess I am better late than never.

Sent:

Andrew Bailey
Mat Latos
David Price (a longshot but he signed sporadically last ST)
Tony Larussa
Mookie Wilson - I hope he signs it b/c it is an absurd picture of he and Keith Hernandez posing with the Count from Sesame Street. I explained to him it was the only photo I could find, and that my daughter loves the Count.
RA Dickey
Bobby Parnell
Jenrry Mejia
Josh Thole
JP Arencibia
Kyle Drabek
Joe Nathan
Michael Cuddyer
Pat Neshek
Chipper Jones
Drew Stubbs
Joey Votto (longshot, but he signed last season ST and I am still kicking myself for not sending to him)
Matt Wieters
Adam Jones
Neftali Feliz
Dustin Ackley
Matt Cain
David Wright - By far my longest shot ever. He is my favorite player though, so it is worth a shot for me. I sent him an 8x10 custom, genuine letter, and even attached a small photo of my family (me, wife, and 10 month old daugter) all wearing Mets gear. I figure any time I send to him, it better be an 8x10 because if I get lucky then there'll be no regrets.

I realized there is a bunch more I would like to send to, however, given how long it takes me to get requests out, I may wait until regular season for the rest.
