We are back to producing the cards in order again, which brings us up to the 8th overall pick in the draft.  Mike Leake was selected by the Cincinnati Reds and was an absolute steal.  He is the second best pitcher in the college ranks, behind only Stephen Strasberg.  But the two pitchers couldn’t be more different, instead of throwing 100+ MPH, Mike relies more on finesse and deception.  His fastball tops out around 92MPH, he also has a plus curve ball. As a University of Arizona alumni I want to tell you, this was tough to create and write up.

I still have not gotten an entry for the printout template.  Anyone that can come up with a Word or Open Office template to print out the cards and their respective backs so that they line up perfectly gets some swag from me.  I’m thinking one autogamer and a pack of unopened wax.  Plus you get a full set of cards when the 40 cards are complete.  Email me your templates <here>.
