Wow, a MLBer w/o any cards...

The Giants called up a kid from AAA named Matt Downs, and he's been playing 2nd for them for the last week or so.

I went to go look, and he has NO cards! Not even a Bowman Chrome! Maybe they'll include him in a set later this year?

    You sure? Check back to the early 90s. I'm sure one of the companies issued a little league card of him!

    Ironically, Matt Downs was indeed on the preliminary checklist for this product, but got replaced right before the set was released.


    So, there are 6 SF Giants youngsters who saw playing time in 08 and/or 09 but still have yet to get a MLB card issued:

    Geno Espineli (16 ip/ 15 games in 2008)
    Osiris Matos (26.2 ip/ 25 games between 08 and 09)
    Ryan Rohlinger (53 pa / 33 games between 08 and 09)
    Dan Runzler (8.2 ip / 11 games in 09)
    Matt Downs (60 pa / 17 games in 09)
    Ryan Sadowski (2-4 in 6 2009 starts, on the preliminary 2009 Bowman Draft checklist)

    Other than Runzler, none of these guys could be considered "prospects".
