I'm just getting into baseball card collecting as there's not much else for me to do in the hockey/hockey collecting offseason. How'd I do?

OP edited, found another rookie in the Topps OD.

Thanks! I thought so but, then again, I'm a hockey guy and don't really know what to look for in baseball. lol I kept thinking there had to be more rookies in that box of OD other than the Pomeranz and ended up finding a Matt Moore rookie upon further inspection. Baseball America has him listed as the 2nd best prospect for 2012 so I thought that was cool. Plus, I like rookie cards of top end pitchers/pitching prospects (I'm the same way with goalies in hockey, too). I've realized that, with a product like OD, there aren't a lot of rookies because there are very few that make the opening day roster for MLB teams. But this means the few rookie cards you do find in OD are top end prospects. So I'm fine with that. Thanks again!
