2018 Spring Training success and discussion thread

[bigbenjobu]

Thank you. I was not aware of that. I wasn't going to send to a few people because I thought they wouldn't be at ST

will benson has not been invited to major league camp, but should be right next door at the minor league facility, i have had good luck sending to major league team even if the guy doesnt have a spring invite, i figure as long as he is around he will get the mail. some teams have a seperate mailing address for minor league camp, the a's come to mind.

When do you guys mail stuff out. I'm thinking I will send mine out around the 10th.

Pitchers/catchers report on Feb 14th, so at very most, I'd say start sending them out next week. There are guys already in camp, so if you know someone's already there, then send it now.

Agreed. My first batch is going out next Friday.

I am sending mine out on Wednesday, giving a shot with a few big names. I just have extra cards laying around so I thought why not give it a shot, worse that could happen is I don't get the card back.

[bronxbomber33]

Sounds good. Maybe I will get mine out next Wednesday or Thursday.

Okay so far I am going to send out to the following players...

Trevor Clifton
Brad Ziegler
Michael Kopech
Chris Iannetta
Seth Elledge
Caden Lemons
Stephen Vogt
Steve Cishek
Alex Scherff
Kevin Plawecki

So far they are mostly minor leaguers but I still have about 30 letters to go. I was wondering if anyone know of former players who are either coaches or in the front office that I should try. I have...

Billy Hatcher
Gary Pettis
John Russell
Bob Boone
Don Mattingly (Major long shot but my favorite player growing up and I have about 1,000 1987 Topps cards to spare)

I already have Ned Yost and Hensley Meulens already.

I sent a PM to a TTM staffer the other day asking to add and sticky the 2018 thread. Best of luck to all! It is always fun to see who the shocking big namer who signs during ST will be. I still remember the year Big Mac signed in ST!

Not sure who you asked, but I just took care of making this a sticky.
