TTM Success - Daniel Cabrera

He's not the former Orioles pitcher that baffled hitters (sometimes) and pitching coaches (most times).  This Daniel Cabrera is the Tigers prospect that signs TTM.  I got three cards back signed and personalized.  I was happy to add a 2020 Bowman Chrome to my album, as there aren't many in my album due to not being able to graph last year.

I also got these two 2019 Stars & Stripes signed.  Cabrera's signature needs some work, but most kids these days have no idea what cursive is anyway, so I guess we will take what we can get.

Cabrera (b. 1998) was a 2nd round pick by the Tigers in the 2020 June Amateur Draft out of Louisiana State University.  He has yet to play pro ball, but that is probably coming within the month.

I mailed to Cabrera on January 4 and got the cards back on January 16, for a 12-day TAT.

A Belated Post About a Belated Package From Michael A.

I have had this package from Michael A. from Instagram and Facebook since before Christmas, I think.  He didn't put a note in the package, and at one point it was at the bottom of my "to be blogged" pile, but the pile was accidentally knocked over a couple weeks ago.  I was able to keep everything together, but I realized that I had forgotten who these cards came from.  I embarrassingly posted them on Instagram and asked who had sent them to me, and Michael responded within seconds.

I remembered the Daniel Cabrera auto, but hadn't been sure who sent it, obviously, but since Michael said it was him, I remember now when we talked about it.  Cabrera was one of those pitchers who could (and did) get a pitching coach fired.  He had such good stuff, when he could trust and command it, but that consistent trust and command eluded him throughout his career.

Another nice card he sent was this Adam Jones framed relic from 2013 Gypsy Queen.  I'm pretty sure I have one of these already, but I will gladly take others.  I like the look of the framed relics and autos from Ginter and GQ.

Thanks for the package, Michael.  I'm sorry it took me so long to post it, and I'm equally as sorry that I forgot who sent it.  Please include a note, next time!
