Andrew Jones was on the Durham Bulls during the 1996 season prior to joining the Braves later in the year. Not a really pricey card in terms of a trade and Andrew has a really nice signature. I also picked up an autograph of Braves prospect Mike Foltynewicz.
Always nice to get a throw-in when you are trading. The Braves would seem to have an infinite amount of pitching prospects, but Folty seems like he could stick in the Majors. He played part of last season in Triple A and has a big arm. This is a great looking card for a freebie.
I'd really like to see Folty succeed; he hails from a couple towns over from me and it's always cool to see a local kid succeed. Here's hoping!
ReplyDeleteI would too, kid has electric stuff just needs to harness it.
DeleteI have the same card
I agree Tony Burbs, always good to see the local talent make it. Jeff- That's pretty much the assessment I have heard from a lot of people. I saw the Gwinnett Braves several times last year, but it seems that I always missed seeing him pitch. A lot of the really good prospects are still a little bit down the line for the Braves, but the guys in Triple A were pretty good.
