I just got two of the top LA Dodgers prospects in person tonight... The left is Chris Anderson on an official minor league ball. He was the 2013 first round draft pick for the Dodgers (18th overall) and the right is 17 year old Julio Urias who is on the top 100 prospects list on mlb.com. Urias was found pitching in the Mexican League when he was 15 years old and the Dodgers signed him when he was 16. He's playing guys 3-7 years older than him and has a winning record and more strikeouts than innings pitched. That's impressive...
A few things I noticed... Julio Urias signed multiples for others (I only got one auto of each and didn't attempt multiples). However, Chris Anderson seemed like he didn't want to sign if he thought you were selling the item. A guy brought a brand new pitching rubber (balk) and asked him to sign it. Anderson replied "Are you going to sell this?" The guy said no. He then agreed to sign it but asked for his name and personalized it with "To ___" which would make it hard to sell. If you are a fan/collector like me and ask for one signature then he will do it but I would not advise asking for multiples of Chris Anderson.
