Granderson, Wang are usually good. Add Guerrero and A. Jones to the list, they are good in spring

I plan to send to a lot of those players too. I tried Granderson during last season. He didn't sign my card, and instead sent his own signed picture. I got my card back though.

Longoria still signs I believe. If you wanna check a site that helps go to
www.sportsautosttm.com, the guy named Chad who runs it has sent out hundreds of TTM autos and posts them all on his site. It's helped me out a lot
Good luck!

Most of them are pretty good. I usually get my baseball autographs IP, so my judgment is based on interacting with these guys personally:
Jeff Weaver -- signed everything I had
Matt Capps -- very fan friendly, signed everything
Denard Span -- one of the best personalities in baseball, signed two at a time
As for the rest of the guys, I recall seeing successes from most everyone except Chamberlain. Even Mariano Rivera. Some of the guys save all their mail and wait until the season is over before signing TTM requests, even from spring training, so be patient.
What you should do is sign up for the free membership at SportsCollectors.Net and you can watch for successes from the last two weeks. It would be good for you to monitor it during the season to see who signs and how quickly. That's how I learned. There is just no substitute for doing your own research.
