From the Collection: Lonnie Chisenhall, 3b, Cleveland Indians
I always forget what a good prospect Lonnie Chisenhall was. In 2010 he was ranked the #31 overall prospect in baseball, and the next season he moved up to #25.

New Arrivals: John Jaha, 1b, Oakland Athletics
I have been waiting for a John Jaha signing for a while, and its just not happening. So I decided to pull the trigger on these two cards. John Jaha spent 10 seasons in the majors with the Brewers (1992-1998) and Athletics (1999-2001). A late start to his career (he[…]
From the Collection: Asdrubal Cabrera, if, Cincinnati Reds
Asdrubal Cabrera was never a super fun autograph to get, but I was able to snag a couple over the years.
New Arrival: Bobby Witt, sp, Texas Rangers
Collectors Choice. I am not sure why, but they are some of my favorite looking cards of the 90’s, and assuming the photo works, some of my favorite cards to get signed.
New Arrival: Bryan Lavastida, c, Cleveland Indians
Bryan Lavastida (2018, 15th round) is one of my favorite prospects in the Cleveland system. This past season he hit .289/.380/.456 with 9 HR between across three levels, which included 19 at-bats in AAA. The Guards thought enough of his season to add him to the 40-man last month. Good[…]
From the Collection: Josh Tomlin, p, Atlanta Braves
Josh Tomlin was Cleveland’s 19th round pick in 2006 draft. He has had a pretty good career, spending 12-seasons in the big leagues with Cleveland and Atlanta. Excellent control, less excellent stuff, Tomlin is a classic 4th or 5th starter who will shine on occassion. His biggest strength has always[…]
From the Collection: Aaron Cunningham, of, Cleveland Indians
Aaron Cunningham was quite a prospect while in the minors. He was one of the Top 10 prospects of both White Sox (#7 in 2007), and Diamondbacks (#7 in 2008), and in 2009 was rated the 55th best prospect in baseball. If its any gauge, he was part of the[…]
From the Collection: Sean Doolittle, p, Seattle Mariners
This Eephus League Baseball scorebook was signed by Sean Doolittle in 2012, while he was with the Athletics and they were visiting Cleveland for a three-game weekend series. Doolittle has had a great career. Since making the majors in 2012, he has had four seasons of at least 22 saves,[…]
From the Collection: Lew Ford, of, Minnesota Twins
Outfielder Lew Ford. Back in 2004, filling in for an injured Torii Hunter, Ford hit .299/.381/.446 with 15 HR for the Twins. He finished 24th in MVP voting. It was his second season in the majors, and it seemed like the Minnesota had found a hidden gem in the 27-year[…]
New Arrival: Adam Engel, of, Chicago White Sox
OF Adam Engel was drafted by the White Sox in the 19th round of the 2013 draft out of Louisville. From 2014-2017 he ranked one of the White Sox Top 25 prospects, topping out at #10 coming into the 2017 season. He made the majors in 2017, and has filled[…]
