Since I have already done the Drew Storen card (number 10), we can jump ahead to Tyler Matzek, the 11th pick in the draft by the Colorado Rockies.  Yet another pitcher taken in a very pitching heavy draft, Tyler comes from Capistrano Valley, CA.  Considered the top left handed high school pitcher in the draft, some experts had him going as high as 3rd overall.  The fact he slipped to the Rockies at 11 is a mystery, could have something to do with salary demands though.  This card is the seventeenth card in set set so far.

If you know Tyler or have seen him play please leave a comment and let us know what you think of his prospects in the majors.

Thanks to Eugene of New Jersey, I believe we have a working template for the printout of the cards.  Before I had them printed on both sides of the paper but the back would always print about 5 mm too high.  I think this has been worked out and I am going to try the template tomorrow.  If it works, Euguene will get an autogamer, a pack of wax and the full set upon completion.  THanks again Eugene for all your help with this.

    I traded for this card and couldn’t be happier. If I saw your draft pick cards at a card shop, I’d definitely buy them. I hope to meet Matzek when he’s on Modesto and get this card signed
