I have been lazy this year and only have 65 set to go on Valentines Day! I took some risks on coaches for sure this year, but did balance with some younger prospects that are more likely to sign and some vets that I have had luck with in the past. Best of wishes to you all on your mailings!

Here is batch number 2 for Thursdays outgoing mail and my last until returns start to hit. Do not assume they all sign as I am sending a few long shots and unknowns. It is always nice to get new guys in the mail.

Well that should put an end to my ST mailers. I hope that my list did help a few of you this spring. I will continue to update as they come in as long as this stays on the front page. Once it slips into the background I will assume there is no interest in it or it is dated. Best of luck on your ST mailers and please do not forget to post ST successes in the ST success thread:

Nice list, I am surprised that ours are so different! I think we are only writing to 2-4 of the same and I have a 40 man list. What teams are these guys with btw: JACK MORRIS, WILLIE HORTON and BARRY LARKIN? I would love to write to them!

[indyreds]

Jack Morris is an announcer form the Twins, Horton is in Tigers front office and last I knew Larkin was tied into the Nationals front office.

[white2128]

maddux is with texas now right?

[indyreds]

I was wrong on Larkin as I guess he was MLB Network last season and Maddox is still with Cubs. Nolan Ryan is the big former HOF pitcher involved with the Rangers.

[indyreds]

My first return day was a 50% day as Fermin returned unsigned and Baylor signed 2/2!

[indyreds]

Updating my return dates here!

Great mailday!
Al Kaline o/2 oh well can not complain!
Tony LaRussa 1/3
Chris Pettit 2/2 signed in ink pen?
Tyler Colvin 1/1 "To Mike, Go Cubs! Tyler Colvin #21"
Chone Figgins 1/3
Ian Snell 3/3
Mat Gamel 1/2Angel Salome 2/2
Johnny Cueto RTS!
Autos in 7 of 9 envelopes today and great to see this many back so soon from ST!

[mattconn]

Well done. Thinking of writing to Pettit also.

[indyreds]

Sadly I now realize that the address I used for my Reds and then the Nationals are wrong as I have gotten 6 RTS over the last few days! I will get them out soon with the correct address! I also sent Larkin to a bad addy. Oh well! The returns are coming in and my best so far this ST is Paul Molitor on a 98 Studio card!

[indyreds]

18 players with successes for me after March 1st! ;) Long way to go to hit 50%!
