Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
Marshall Kasowski was drafted out of West Texas A&M by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 13th round (400th overall) of the 2017 draft. West Texas A&M is a Division II school, and anyone who knows me knows my weird love of Divison II baseball. Kasowski was the ace of the[…]
Curtis Taylor is a very good relief pitcher in the Rays organization. He was Arizona’s 4th round pick out of British Columbia back in 2016 and was traded to the Rays in 2017 for RHP Brad Boxberger. Some #Rays fans not happy w/ the Boxberger trade, but Curtis Taylor is[…]
I had a thing for Krieger a couple seasons ago. He was having a really nice season with Lake County in 2016 and I sent a bunch of stuff out on consignment. He refused to sign any sweet spot cards. I scrambled to get together some pictures to get done[…]
Brock Lundquist was drafted in the 6th round (189th overall) by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2017 out of Long Beach State. I got to see him play here in Hawaii, so he is clearly a favorite. Coming out of college he had plus power and a smooth swing but[…]
One of the Blue Jays’s Top young hitting prospects of 2018
Noah Naylor was drafted in the 1st round, 29th overall, by the Cleveland Indians in the 2018 draft. Naylor has a lot going for him. He was considered by many to be the best high school hitter available in the draft. Plus he plays a premium position–catcher–where he looks like[…]
T.J. Zeuch was drafted out of the University of Pittsburg in the 1st round (21st overall) by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2016. He is a very good prospect, with Baseball America ranking him #12 in the system. He is having a solid season in AA: 7-4 with a 3.32[…]
This is a neat one. He is a local kid. Went to Punahou High School here in Hawaii. Drafted out of high school–the 25th round of the 2014 draft by the Indians–but decided to instead go to college at Oregon State. He was a great hitter at Oregon State, and[…]
I got this autograph back in 2016, when Kyle Tucker was with the Low-A 2016 Quad Cities River Bandits. 2015 1st Round pick out of high school in Tampa, Florida. He was taken fifth overall by the Astros. Had moved quickly through the system. In 2016 hit 285/.360/.438 between low and[…]
Andres Gimenez is one of the New York Mets top prospects coming into the 2018 season. Both BA and BP also tagged in the back end of their Top 100 lists, so he is a very well thought of young player. Last season he hit .265/.346/.349 with 4 HR in[…]
