Do all of these guys have AFLAC cards?

A few recent sales for fun:

Bundy - [phil:13vn48xu]350469042670[/phil:13vn48xu]
Baez - [phil:13vn48xu]350469040420[/phil:13vn48xu]
Stephenson - [phil:13vn48xu]300562982957[/phil:13vn48xu]
Beede - [phil:13vn48xu]300562982964[/phil:13vn48xu]
Greene - [phil:13vn48xu]300562982953[/phil:13vn48xu]
Norris - [phil:13vn48xu]300562982871[/phil:13vn48xu] - Blue Jays 2nd outsells 1st Rounder
Bradley - [phil:13vn48xu]300562982824[/phil:13vn48xu]
Cave - [phil:13vn48xu]300562980538[/phil:13vn48xu] - 6th rounder but Yankees = $$

For guys who don't have USA issues, these still sell pretty well! I wonder if anything will change with AFLAC no longer being the game sponsor.

Re: AFLAC Players Drafted This Year

Looks like Dylan Davis, Phillip Pfiefer, and Riocky Jacquez are going to college.

Bummer.

Can't see them signing if they're picked today, Day 3.

I think Pfeifer was going to Vandy no matter where he got drafted...plus, I think his arm recently fell off. Under-sized quirky delivery high school pitchers can only seem to convince MLB clubs after college.

Dylan Davis shocks me a bit. He already has the size and his stuff is actually closer to MLB ready than most HS pitchers.

The only thing I can think of is that he had high demands, and told teams not to pick him.

Re: AFLAC Players Drafted This Year

What is the story w Brent Warren? Was he eligible and didn't get drafted? Or not eligible?
Thx

AFLAC Players Drafted This Year - Final Update

Bumping this thread for a final update. I have bolded everyone who has signed, in the first and third posts.

In the 2007 AFLAC crop of players drafted this year, 10 out of 11 signed.

In the 2010 AFLAC crop of players drafted this year, 25 out of 34 signed.

That makes 35 players whose Autographs Topps could potentially include in this year's Bowman Draft Picks.

So get to it, Topps.

 

[Jaypers]

Just remembered another:

2008 AFLAC - Brian Goodwin (1st Supp, Nationals)

Make that 36.

 

[beefycheddar]

Add Susac to the list.

 

[Jaypers]

Add Susac to the list.

Could've sworn he already had an AFLAC auto in BDP already, but you would know best.

37.

He wasn't eligible to have one yet since he was in College.

 

[MadHandle11]

Can't wait to see some of these names in BDPP!
