# UH 187 - Rod Barajas

After previously playing for the Diamondbacks for parts of five seasons, including the World Series Championship team in 2001, Rod Barajas is back in the desert. He is battling it out with Wil Nieves to be our backup catcher.

Rod signed his card from the 2008 Topps Updates & Highlights set for us over at Salt River Fields last weekend.

# 357 - Jeremy Accardo

Blog reader Dan has helped us out with some great signed 2008 Topps cards in the past. This time he's really out done himself. He sent over seven new cards. All of them are amazing!

I remember Jeremy Accardo best from the 2007 season when he filled in as the Blue Jays closer when B.J. Ryan was out with an injury. This year he's part of the Cleveland Indians bullpen and is doing quite well since being called up about a month ago.

# 472 - Shawn Marcum

Blog reader Dan came through for us again with three more signed 08 Topps cards.

Dan had better luck writing to Shawn Marcum this Spring Training than I did trying to get him in person. Shawn's off to a pretty good start with the Brewers this year. It's really great to have this one in our collection. Thanks, Dan!

# 187 - Dustin McGowan

Spring Training is always a good time to try to write to Tornoto Blue Jays players since its cheaper and easier than mailing to Canada. We wrote to a few Blue Jays but only received our cards back from pitcher, Dustin McGowan.

Dustin's 08 Topps card is a little dark so the signature didn't show up too well.

# 556 - John Gibbons

The second card zman40 from Autographed Cards sent me is of former Toronto Blue Jays manager, John Gibbons. I had no idea that John was a coach for the Kansas City Royals this year.
Thanks again, Zach!
