April 27, 2009 - Topps Baseball Series 2 puts the spotlight on three of the brightest rookies of the 2009 season:
Rick Porcello Detroit Tigers – Topps Card #658
Porcello was tabbed as a can't-miss prospect when he was just 15, and made his MLB debut only five years later. A very polished pitcher for his age, Rick's pitching smarts and power arm have the Tigers thinking this future ace might anchor their rotation for years to come.
Colby Rasmus St. Louis Cardinals – Topps Card #631
Rasmus reached his peak in the minors, and the Cardinals had no choice but to include him on the Opening Day Roster. Rasmus is slated to split time in the outfield, but his big bat could quickly earn him everyday playing time
Koji Uehara Baltimore Orioles – Topps Card #616
Uehara is a Japanese import who is not afraid to pitch on the big stage. A control pitcher, Uehara can throw any of his pitches wherever or whenever he wants. He twice won the Sawamura Award, Japan’s equivalent of the Cy Young.
Look for these 3 exciting MLB rookies and 24 others when 2009 Topps Baseball Series 2 hits the shelves the week of May 25th.
