Can someone tell me if any of these players sig TTM during Spring Training? I am looking to send out a bunch of 8.5 by 11 photos and hopefully they sign.
Dustin Pedroia
Tim Wakefield
Kevin Youkilis
Clay Buckholtz
Jason Varitek
Jon Lester
Josh Beckett
Chipper Jones
Todd Helton
Vlad Guerrero
Victor Martinez

Also I have a question on the Red Sox spring training address.
fanmail.biz says its this:
City of Palms Park
2201 Edison Avenue
Fort Meyers, FL 33901

And the Red Sox site says this:
City of Palms Park
32201 Edison Avenue
Fort Meyers, FL 33901

I just don't know which address to send to!!!!
Any information you guys have on those players would help a ton!
Thanks!
CWill

I know that Chipper Jones usually doesn't sign your iteam, but does sent an authentic signed picture of himself in stead.

The Red Sox can be tough to get TTM. I sent to Wakefield and a few others in 2007 and never got a reply. On SCN, the only Red Sox player in your list that signs some is Pedroia, and he has around a 50% success rate. The rest hardly sign. Chipper Jones used to be fairly good TTM, but it was almost like playing the lottery. He would sign for a while and then stop, and then start again; but there are no successes from last year at all. Todd Helton, Vladimir Guerrero, and Victor Martinez don't have very good success rates. But you never know, especially with Jones, since this is his last year.

I've looked up the address for the Red Sox ST address on a few other sites and it is listed as 2201 Edison Ave on both sites. I also did a zip code look-up on the USPS site and the 32201 Edison address does not exist. Make sure you spell the city right, though -- it's Ft. Myers.
---------------------------
Edit: In response to your PM, I thought I'd list it publicly so everyone will know: Terry Francona does sign, he has a 79% success rate, but seems a bit disorderly though. He will often sign a bunch of cards and then place them in the SASEs seemingly at random. So don't send a 1989 Topps unless you don't care what you get back. He seems to replace everything with an '08 or '09 Topps. Including photos.
