Spring Training TTM

GMAN613 · 01-04-2014, 07:55 PM

Hello,

This is my 1st year doing TTM as I started in late June 2013. I am doing the following guys for Spring Training:

Jose Bautista
Mitch Moreland
David Robertson
Kyle Drabek
Zach Britton
Jason Motte
David Robertson
Drew Pomeranz
Wade Miley
Vance Worley
Brandon Beachy
Johnny Venters

I was wondering, do any of you guys have success with these guys During Spring Training?

Also, what is 50/50 in TTM? I hear lots of people use the term but I don't know what it is.

From my own experience, yes to David Robertson, yes to Wade Miley. I sent to Jason Motte two years ago during ST and never got it back, and I sent to Jose Bautista last year and got nothing back.

But from what I hear, Moreland, Pomeranz, and Worley are good signers. I'm trying Worley myself this ST.

According to the "TTM Manager", Venters and Beachy both seem like decent bets, as is Drabek. Again, I'm trying Beachy this year myself.

I could be mistaken on the exact meaning as I have never done it myself, but an example of a 50/50 would be where you send 2 cards to another person (say me for example), and I get both cards signed for us in-person. I give you back one of the cards.

Thanks. When should I send out? I live near Toronto Canada

I used to send in the middle-to late February (so from the 12th-25th), but I have a suspicion that it might be too late for some players. You can find dates online when the players themselves are required to show up for camp, with the pitchers/catchers being required a few days before everyone else (and often they'll be even earlier). To be extra cautious this year though, I'm just going to send almost all of my sendouts around 7 February.

My list is REALLY long so far! My success rate hasn't been that great in the past two years I've tried ST TTM (like 20%) but I'm still hopelessly optimistic

Good luck. I will go 50/50 with you on Pierzinski. If I send my card, will u send it off for me?

I don't think AJ will sign multiples, why not just send to him yourself? a 50/50 here would not work the way you're thinking, not unless there was something in it for me
