This is the second through the mail success I had with Tony. This go around I wanted to use the custom card I had made.
Player’s Name: Tony Sanchez
Player’s Current Team: West Virginia Power (farm team of the Pittsburgh Pirates)
Player’s Current Address: C/O West Virginia Power, 601 Morris St., Suite 201, Charleston, West Virginia 25301
Date Sent out: 7/13/09
Date Returned: 7/23/09 (10 days)
Why go after this autograph: I decided to try and get every one the the first round draftees autographs using the custom cards that I have been making. So far I have mailed out nearly half of the cards I have made. The only ones I have not sent out are the collegiate players that have not signed as of yet. But all the high school guys have gone out. This is the first one I got back though and this is actually the second one I got back from Tony, who was considered the strongest catcher in the draft. So far this season he is hitting 0.352/1/14 in only 54 at bats. I don’t expect him to stay in West Virginia too much longer. Expect him to get promoted sometime in August to high A ball.
Any Current Certified Autographs Available: Not a single one, but you know Razor is going to have him in a set quickly and don’t rule out Tri Star’s 3rd installment of PROjections.
