2013 baseball spring training ~ SUCCESS THREAD!

[alowe1034]

Top Success: Adrian Beltre and Mike Zunino so far
Success Rate: 23/71: 32% so far, seen recent successes of players I sent to so hoping that number climbs!
Most Wanted: As a Sox fan would love Middlebrooks

Last year a few of my sendouts waited till April and May to sign so I'm staying hopeful!

[r0yals2012]

yes! I did send to middlebrooks and c.j. both. Should have sent to Olt! and I will prob send to Morse once the season starts.

I am 4/13 so far (30.8%) with the best one probably being Jackie Bradley Jr. So far. I really hope Middlebrooks and Olt are signing since I sent to both of them and they are 1 and 1a on my most wanted list.

I sent to Hultzen and Walker last week but directed my mail to Tacoma just as a way of playing it safe. Sent Downs and Blanton to Los Angeles. Same goes for Trammell or other coaches/managers. I sent to Davey Johnson at the start of ST but never heard back.

I also sent to several players for the Cardinals but only heard from Carson Kelly, Joe Kelly, Kolten Wong, and Michael Wacha.

Todd Frazier is a great signer no matter when.

Yesterday brought:

Vinnie Pestano- 2/2 in 15 days. (2012 Topps, 2013 Heritage)

19/61 so far...and none that really stand out from the rest, but am happy to be adding a lot of guys that are new to my collection. I was really hoping for a Rivera or Beltre response, and my fingers are still crossed.

We might be wrong about Middlebrooks because if you check the date of that tweet it says March 15th which is about 2 weeks ago. He hasn't send out the fan mail yet.

If I remember with his first batch he tweeted it and it didn't get back till maybe a week after he tweeted it. Fingers crossed.

First Batch Tweet=February 17th
First Success=February 22th

5 days for mailing.
It has been 8 days (not counting Sundays) which is quite long for USPS. My best guess is that he read some of the mail on the 14th and is waiting until he gets done all of it before mailing or he didn't have time to mail it off so he is waiting until an off day. Hoping for the best guys! Finger crossed...maybe successes will come in this week!

Seems like a lot of these guys like to wait for bulks of mail. I'm hopeful guys like Jim Johnson, Joe Nathan, Colby Lewis, John Axford, Anthony Rizzo all sign their stuff like they did last year. Most of them seemed to wait a while before signing. Best of luck everyone!

I also sent to Rizzo, Spring Training is ending soon but there is still hope. I am hoping this week will bring some nice successes.
