$20 is quite steep for a signature.

You can get a BC Auto for less.

I'm sorry, but this is hilarious. $20 for a Yankees prospect, who has been often injured and his Bowman Chrome Auto RC costs less?
JP Sports Promotions must think we're all suckers here in the NY-area. He should be a free auto guest...plain and simple.
More stupidity for these shows, which is why they never get better or bigger.

Seems like JP has sold our emails. :evil: :evil: :evil:
Now I get "our friends at Steiner" show promo. Next day I get the "our friends at tri county" show promo... I guess a new road for revenue. I added them to my spam folder. :evil:

Yeah having a free auto guest is a good opportunity to grow the show but by charging so much for essentially a complete nobody, it's more of a turnoff than motivation to go.
I got Betances at a Tri-Star show a few years ago. It was like $10 for any auto! I got a 8 x 10 and a ball signed. I think that would be a better price if they could not do a free one.
Like before, Yankee fans are stupid sometimes and I'm sure they will have no problems paying $20 for an auto of "local kid" that could make it big!

You mean the same fans that listen to WFAN.... The station that thinks the minor leagues don't matter and prospects aren't worth talking about until they are in the majors?
Yea, I see how they'll pay $20. lol

It's pretty sad, actually.
They've had much better guests sign for free in recent years than an oft-injured prospect who may never pitch a day in the majors for the Yankees.

Few people should care about minor leaguers as the vast majority don't amount to anything, let alone dedicating more than a few minutes to any minor leaguer.NECpilgrims8 said:
95% of baseball fans couldn't name a single MiLB team affiliated with their favorite club...so if I was a station manager...I'd be blowing off the minors as well.

That makes sense Mike. But i find it hilarious to listen to the hosts TRY to talk about prospects, cracks me the f up! lol
ThoseBackPages said:
Haha! I remember one host was talking about bringing up F-Mart to see how he can do and blah blah blah...yet at the time he was talking all about this, F-Mart was on the DL in the minors... :benson:
I was screaming at the radio saying what an idiot he is!

You can either follow the herd, or make your own path. Give people a reason to go look up a player in their team's organization and they will. Brush it off and poo-poo all over it, and they will follow suit.
Mike Francesa is the WORST at this. He has people call up and bring up names like Montero, and all he does is tell them he doesn't care how good he is or who he is. All that matters to him is the major league club and the farm system doesn't matter.
Yet, one of the most important factors to the success of any MLB organization is..... the farm system!
