Spring Training Giveaway, part 3

[Part 1]
[Part 2]

I won another contest at Number 5 Type Collection. After ranking the 5 teams I wanted from what he had to offer, I tied another reader and so wound up with half the Tigers and Red Sox.

Let's start with some minor leaguers we may never hear from:

2007 Tristar Prospects Plus #99 Cale Iorg

 I actually recognized this last name and sure enough, he's the nephew of former Cardinal Dane Iorg. Of course, Dane is from too far back for me to remember.

2007 Tristar Prospects Plus #8 Ryan Dent

2007 Tristar Prospects Plus #76 Brock Huntzinger

2007 Tristar Prospects Plus #85 Anthony Rizzo

2007 Tristar Prospects Plus #94 David Mailman

2007 Upper Deck #574 Matt Clement

 Matt Clement was technically a Cardinal for a bit, but he never saw the majors after an injury and some minor league rehab.

2007 Upper Deck #581 Mike Timlin

 I mostly remember that we had Timlin during 2001 because he was on the team when Bud Smith thew a No-Hitter. My neurons seem to connect in odd ways.

2007 Upper Deck #591 Manny Ramirez

 This would have been a much more exciting card a few years ago. PED suspensions really put a damper on my excitement.

2008 Topps Updates and Highlights #UH123 Matt Joyce

2008 Topps Updates and Highlights #UH153 Armando Galarraga

 Mr. Almost-Perfect himself.

2008 Topps Updates and Highlights #UH195 Chris Carter

I'm a little tired or I'd make a Minnesota Vikings/X-Files reference, and it'd be hilarious.

2008 Topps Updates and Highlights #UH221 J.D. Drew

 Ah J.D. Drew, my first experience in having to root for an outwardly greedy player. I remember thinking he wasn't so great to Philadelphia for refusing to sign and playing in an independent league. Then the Cardinals drafted him the following year. I was a bit conflicted, and I'm still not sure what my opinion would be if he had been drafted by someone else instead.

2008 Upper Deck Timeline #41 Justin Verlander

2010 Upper Deck #99 George Kottaras

2010 Upper Deck #192 Edwin Jackson

Even though he and Colby Rasmus are both gone now, I think this deal worked out pretty nicely for the Cardinals in their 2011 World Series run.

2010 Upper Deck #207 Ryan Perry

Well, I've saved the best for last in part 4. You might be able to guess what's coming based on the teams I chose that I consider it the best.
