Last Time I Ask About Spring Training...I Swear....

**JVazz29** · 01-19-2010, 10:05 AM

Alright, so I've finally compiled a list of fella's that I would like to send to. I did a little research with the TTMM, which helped tremendously (I hope).

Of the 30 or so guys I have listed, these are a few that were questionable...have you seen or had any success with the following?

Carl Crawford
Omar Vizquel
Brandon Inge
Torii Hunter
Carlos Gomez
Trevor Hoffman
Mark Reynolds
Brian Schneider
Ben Francisco
Ian Stewart
Joe Torre
Bobby Cox

Thanks for any help that is provided.

Annnd, just to throw it out there, I am also sending out to - Most of these guys seem like they sign or are 'hit or miss' signers.

Mets - A bunch of them. Giving them a shot whether they sign or not.
Mariano Rivera
Curtis Granderson
Zack Greinke
CC Sabathia
Michael Cuddyer
Pat Neshek
Paul Konerko
Mark Buehrle
Josh Hamilton
Nate McLouth
Ryan Zimmerman
Edison Volquez
Jamie Moyer
Ian Snell
Tony Larussa

I've seen a decent # of success' from Schneider, Torre, Cox, and Torii.

The bottom list has some great signers. Neshek, Hamilton (takes a while), Snell, Moyer, larussa, and Konerko (he was signing good from his home up to last week) all sign pretty well. Neshek is one of the best IMO and Hamilton for his star status is incredible. Buerhle was good but after his Perfect I havn't see a success other than a few IP. I sent to him a bunch of times trying to get the Sports Illustrated signed and never got any of the 3 I sent back.

Since this is the second thread of this nature, and i also have some questions about players at ST; can we use this thread as the general ST question thread? Or maybe create a new one and merge this and the other into it? This is pretty good information to have for everyone sending (I'm sure most of us will be), and to have it all in one thread would be nice. I just don't want to jack your thread.

I agree. It's nice to have all of the info all in one 'go to' spot. I'd merge'm all and stuff, but dunno how. Oh, and thanks for the heads up on the coaches, 'Scneid's', and Torrii.

I had seen someplace else that Crawford has a contract that has him do private signings for a reasonable fee IMO. I wouldn't waste stamps on him, but I can dig that up later if you would like.

Inge is not one to sign TTM, and I blame it partially on being a hometown favorite. Best chance to get him is in-person at ST actually.
