Some more Topps Update

Thanks to yet another Election Day that doesn't matter, I was given a day off to roam in my own teeanged world. Of course, being that I felt a hankering for cards, I got a Formerly Cereal Box and a single pack of Topps Update. I'll open the pack first...due to weight differences.

Pack:
311- Drew Butera. Last year, when this guy was a rookie, I joked that he'd have no playing time, due to Minnesota's catching mainstay. Said mainstay didn't play very often this season. Hi Drew. No hard feelings, right?
93- Matt Downs
283- LaTroy Hawkins. When you have about as many saves has you have losses, it's time to rethink your strategy a bit.
17- Craig Gentry
218- Matt Kemp HRD
16- Wellington Castillo.
Drew Stubbs ToppsTown
120- Mat Latos BOOZE PARALLEL.
109- Jair Jurrjens
38- Josh Hamilton AS
193- Lonnie Chisenhall Rookie Debut. Saw this guy play, decent prospect.
108- Ubaldo Jiminez. Nice to see this guy out of a Rockies uniform.

Box:
324- Melvin Mora. Whatever happened to this guy?
35- Eduardo Nunez. When A-rod and Jeter retire, this guy will fit well into the equation.
32- Matt Stairs. It is funny when you are named after the one thing you cannot get up. I kid, of course. What a career for a pinch hitter.
67- Miguel Olivo. The Catcher That Couldn't Stop Moving
101- Scott Downs
120- Bobby Parnell. Not to be confused with the other guy from Lazy Sunday
33- Jayson Nix
5- Josh Willingham. How can a team with so many sluggers and decent pitching end up in 3rd?
176- Xavier Nady. So how's playing time? You're giving some to D-Backs? We couldn't we have any?
54- Jerry Sands. Outfielder of the Future for LA.
187- Bobby Wilson
168- Bruce Chen. Another Journeyman pitcher
171- Matt Lindstrom
231- Charlie Blackmon.
288- Eric Thames. This is what happens when an under-the-radar team's prospects finally come up
328- Kevin Gregg
39- Eduardo Sanchez
264- Alex White Rookie Debut. That would imply he's good
185- Orlando Hudson. After Alomar left, there had to be a new Awesome Defensive 2nd Baseman. O-Hud is that man.
71- Jeff Francis. Doubles already?
(2 more cards I already had)\
59- Matt Kemp AS
163- Adrian Beltre AS
293- Howie Kendrick AS
323- Jhonny Peralta. I'll say it...did they MEAN to spell it like that?
249- Starlin Castro
310- Scott Rolen AS
252- Derek Jeter cl
248- Octavio Dotel
134- Michael Bourn. Well...great.
37- Rick Ankiel. Crazy story...

On a related note, I just traded a 1974 card I had in Diamond Giveaway for a 1974 Manny Mota. If anyone wants it...have at it. I'm really hoping to get something out of this site.
