Minnesota Twins TTM Autograph Update for the First Half of 2019


The first half of 2019 has not been very productive in regards to getting TTM (thru the mail) autographs from current, former, and future Minnesota Twins. To date I have signed cards from 655 different Twins. Below is a list of my successes so far this year:

Current or Former Twins

Chase De Jong sent out in 2018
Matt Walbeck
Tom Johnson
Jim Kaat sent $10 and got 2 cards signed
Felix Jorge
Scott Leuis

Minor Leaguers

Brent Rooker sent out in 2018
Luke Raley
Edwar Colina
Michael Davis

Four minor leaguers – Luis Arraez, Ryan Eades, LaMonte Wade, and Lewis Thorpe were promoted to the Twins in the first of 2019. I had gotten all four back when they were minor leaguers. This is why you want to collect minor leaguers because some end up becoming major leaguers.

There have been two in-person signings so far this year:

Jonathan Schoop - free
Willians Astudillo – cost $$

I hope things pick up for the rest of the 2019, but at least the Twins are playing real well.
