2012 Spring Training Success Thread!

[Waffle11]

How long ago did you send the Shuck? I sent to him, Cust, weiland, Singleton and DeShields during ST and have gotten nothing.

I mean, I know to be patient, but I was wondering if I should have some kind of timeframe in my head.

Thanks!

Opened the envelopes for my successes, which were nicely hidden by a Nolan Arenado RTS. Oh well, I think I got him as he was going back down. Still have the return stamp though.

First is...Robbie Erlin! 1/1. Nice start, especially considering it's a 10 day return
Second is Nyjer Morgan, also 1/1. Signed my 2012 Topps playoff card in blue sharpie in the top right corner. Tough to notice, but still a success! Returned in 12 days

Nice. I sent to him this spring, just on the off-chance he feels the need to make up for anything...
