I missed last year for the first time and really regretted it, so was really looking forward to making it back. Unfortunately a very good friend is having an event that morning/afternoon that I can't really miss, so looks like I'm out
I mostly go for the yard sale, I like buying the cheap GU stuff, but oh well. Hopefully in 2017.- Thread starter

I'll post the few AJ's I have (have a blue Refractor autograph as well). Really hoping his national attention this past season gets him in more sets!
Is that first one the acetate parallel? Awesome card.
I love the snake bite patch logo on the National Treasures.

Yeah, I love the Acetates, that may be my favorite *******. I tried putting together the 2015 D-backs set and got pretty far, but 2016 has been a bust - I've only seen 3 players so far (Bracho, Godley and Lamb). Nothing from the rest of the team.

I found this to be a very inspirational story about David Peralta's long journey to the majors and how his hard work and amazing work ethics finally paid off, making him one of the best relatively unknown players in the game. I expect great things from him in this upcoming season.

Just reading the story makes me want to start a David Peralta PC. I had considered it last season but I think I finally need to buy a few Peralta autos.

Thanks for sharing. Excellent read.

awesome read, I knew most of his pitcher to hitter transition story, but didn't know about the McDonald's angle.
Peralta is one of my other main collections, but unfortunately, not much out there to collect at this point. Hopefully he'll get a few more cards this year with all his success!

So far, so good for Greinke.

He had a great 2013 season, in fact he was an All-Star, but hasn't come close to duplicating it ever since.

Big game from Castillo, in 4 at-bats he's hit a home run, 2 doubles & drove in 5 runs.
Brandon Drury is 2-4 with a home run & 2 RBI
Ahmed is 2-4 with 3 RBI
Gosselin is 3-4 and scored a couple runs
David Peralta has a couple hits and a couple runs scored
Some big batting averages this Spring for AZ hitters
Segura .667 avg (leads league)
Gosselin .545 avg
Castillo .500 avg
Weeks .455 avg
Ahmed .444 avg
Drury .364 avg
Peralta .333 avg

Not sure what Owings is batting, but looks like Ahmed and Segura have the early lead on Owings for the 2 middle infield spots. Hell, even Weeks is ahead of him.

I've never been a fan of Owings so I'd love to see a combo of Segura/Ahmed up the middle. I'd also like to see Drury win the 3rd base spot as I'm not a big believer in Lamb. Give Gosselin a utility role, as he has reliable defense at most of the infield positions.
I'd also like to see O'Brien make the team as the primary pinch hitter who can play a few games in the outfield when need be. If he does real well then maybe an AL team will notice and give us an opportunity to get someone decent in return for him, as he's pretty much relegated to the DH spot.

Oh yeah, not big on Owings at all. I do still like Lamb though, I think he has potential. I don't see much roster space for O'Brien, but who knows. I certainly don't see him having much of a future with the D-backs, so it'd be nice to get something good for him.

I don't see him having a future with any NL team since he can't hold down a defensive position.

Yeah, definitely would agree with that. I just don't see him making the roster as a 4th OF, I'm guessing Socrates Brito has that spot lined up.
PS, I'm officially 1-3 in my Heritage Superfractor quest as of last evening's mail day!
