While it seems that the hobby has cooled on 2010 Bowman and is heating up for Allen & Ginter, my 2010 Bowman experience never really got started. I purchased one pack of the stuff [a hobby pack] from my favorite card shop, 3 Stars Sportscards in Minnesota, when I was there visiting family a few weeks ago. I've never seen one pack of retail in any Target, Walmart, or K-Mart, so they either never made it or were ravaged by Strasburg hunters [A Cardboard Problem, Cardboard Icons...I'm looking at you] before casual collectors got a chance.
But no worries mate, the readers came through in spades. Reader Steve sent me pretty much every card I would want from the 2010 Bowman set [minus a Strasburg]. I've spilt them up between my three teams of interest, Royals, Mariners and Twins.
Ahh....purple! John's was drafted in the 5th round of the 2008 draft and is currently pitching in A+ baseball.

Now that the stats book has been closed on Junior, let's see where he sits:
Games Played: 31st all-time
Slugging %: 38th all-time
Runs Scored: 31st all-time
Hits: 46th all-time
Home Runs: 5th all-time
Runs Batted In: 14th all-time
Walks: 37th all-time
Strikeouts: 14th all-time
Extra Base Hits: 6th all-time

Twins base:
If you aren't a big AL Central fan you might have missed the "slump" that Joe Mauer is in. Thus far, Mauer is hitting .300 with only 3 home runs and 39 runs batted in over 69 games. When you hit .365 last season, batting .300 can cause a panic when in reality Joe's numbers are right in line with his 2007 stats when he hit .293 with seven home runs and 60 runs batted in.
Thanks Steve!
