good choice man, who knows how much longer he hangs around

i gotta send out to rivera this season... gotta give it a try.

So my final verdict is this: I'm sending out 8 requests total, since that's all i could afford in stamps. They are going to be sent to:
Joel Zumaya (Tigers) Card
Rick Porcello (Tigers) Custom Index Card
Max Scherzer (Tigers) Custom Index Card
Alfredo Figaro (Tigers) Custom Index Card
Fu Te Ni (Tigers) Custom Index Card
Doug Brocail (Astros) Card
Brandon Lyon (Astros) Custom Index Card
Trevor Miller (Cardinals) Custom Index Card

I plan to send out on friday, feb. 12 since my school doesn't do mail on saturday. Any last minute thoughts, suggestions, questions? Thanks, and good luck everyone!

This site is also good for ST addresses: http://mla.gosportscards.com/

It's a good site for MiLB fans and for those looking to find where the prospects are playing. It also covers the independent leagues, and to a limited extent what former players are roving coaches. Last year it was kept fairly well updated as the season went along.

alright man good luck!

Thanks a lot for the info, starting to get things ready to send out.

coaches are usually pretty successful, about the same rate as players anyhow. actually a lot of big name players do sign during spring training, but not all of them, especially not the veterans. look it up on a player-by-player basis. For example, Jeter and Griffey still don't sign, they just have too much mail. But i believe Evan Longoria signs during spring training, although not during the regular season. It's worth looking into, anyway.

Is there a lot of success for spring training with coaches? I'm guessing big name players still won't sign right?

I just bought a mini book of stamps, planning on sending out 8 requests for spring training this year. I'm gonna send to all pitchers, my list right now is:

Joel Zumaya (Det)
Roman Colon (KCR)
Doug Brocail (hou)
Alfredo Figaro (Det)
Trevor Miller (STL)
Phil Coke (Det)
Luke French (SEA)
Max Scherzer (Det)
Brandon Lyon (Hou)
Daniel Schlereth (Det)

I need to cut it down a bit as you guys can see haha

Anyone sending stuff out to get signed?
