Pro Debut Series 2

Topps Pro Debut Series 2 was recently released, but I haven't seen much at all about it. Do any of you bother with it? The main reason I collected it was because this was its first year. There isn't much special about it. The design is the same as the base and the players are mostly names you've never heard of. In fact, I bet most of the names are names you will never hear. I wonder if we look back at the set in five years what percent of the players will have made the majors?

I bought my Cubs set off of eBay. There were two different sellers with Cubs sets and each had ten players. The problem was that one of the ten players isn't in the Cubs organization any more. Josh Harrison was a Cubs draft pick in 2008 but he was traded to the Pirates last season in the Gorzelanny trade. I'm guessing that both sellers just looked at the "Drafted by" part on the card and assigned the players based on the team listed, not figuring that a player could have been traded. I wonder if I'm missing any Cubs because of that mistake?





I've got these two cards first because both of these players did see some time with the Cubs this season. Casey Coleman started a few games at the end of the season and was showing steady improvement. Welington Castillo, known as Beef to Cubs fans, saw a bit of action after Geovany Soto's season ended early. Beef went 6 for 20, good for a .300 average

For the rest of these guys, I've listed where they played in 2010 and a few stats.
