Although I understand what you're saying (Bowman isn't necessarily a brand people collect but rather invest in), some people may actually like the cards of these guys regardless of whether they make the majors or not - or even have the slightest chance to.

The dudes won a pitching gameshow in India... couldn't even answer a single baseball question during their interviews. They are a publicity stunt for a team who has 0 budget and has been horrible since getting rid of Bonds and Bonilla. They actually have good young talent now but we all know they will trade it off because they won't be able to afford the players in a couple years.

Agreed.
Also, I'm getting so tired of seeing the players have base chrome cards in other products and then autos later.
Boring.

bowman sucks real bad anymore. i've lost that loving feeling, goose. red's fans keep getting the shaft year after year. they missed the boat on neftali soto, alex buccholz, sulbaran, alonso. drew stubbs should have had a card in 06. danny dorn, chris heisey, juan duran, yorman rodriguez, and Matt Fairel are all better prospects than most of the trash they have had coming out. the second year auto is complete and utter BS too.

That's what I thought. Doesn't seem like a gimmick to me. Sure he's just a relief pitcher, but he's good and plays for the yankees.

Isn't that the complete opposite of a pitcher that can throw with both arms?
some where, someone out there is getting ready to lay down big bucks for mr north/south paw

OK, let's forget that he's pitching very well (I know it's Low A and he is 23 or 24). Even if he is a novelty or a gimmick, are you saying that's a bad thing? Isn't the point to add value to a product? I'd much rather pull a "novelty" player than someone that also won't do anything but doesn't have anything to set themselves apart from the rest of the failed prospect crowd.
I dont understand how a solid pitcher (even if he has 1 arm or throws with both arms) is a novelty.
Jim Abbott was a VERY successfull major league pitcher. Was successfull in college, olympics and other international competition.
As of right now Venditte is a solid relief pitching prospect. He has upside and he is doing VERy good work in the minors. The fact that people refuse to give him credit for it is a damn shame.
