    Spring training autos help

    Hey guys! I'm curious if some of the more seasoned MLB TTM'ers could help me out. I've been strictly a Hockey TTM'er so I know whats up there. I want to send some baseballs to a few prospects this spring training. My question is how do you know which prospects are going to report for training and do you think it would be better to send to spring training or wait until they're assigned to the minor leagues? I tried getting Kris Bryant last year but I think I was a little late... Any help would be appreciated as I venture into a new element of TTMing.

    Everyone reports,some later than others. Usually if they sign from their minor league team ,they will sign team c/o st. Sometimes you can wait and see who is signing for everyone else and try those. Bryant signed some at st but shut it down by May. I am not sure if he signs anymore ttm.

    Just like any other request. Tell him why you are a fan and wish best of luck to the player. Ask with please for an autograph and close with a thank you.

    The question about the minor league players with spring training... You can mail those requests to the Big League club spring training address and they will get to the minor league guys. Yes the minor league players may not always be on the same fields of the Big League players, but most are close by on other fields. I would definitely suggest hitting a few prospects of any team that you are a fan of. I have been lucky enough to get plenty of future stars when they were young and still willing to sign. Mike Trout, Buster Posey, David Price and many others would never had made their way into my autograph collection unless I had gotten them before they were superstars.
