This is the first pack from a blaster.

Chad Qualls - Oh heck yes! First card out of the gate is the
DBacks closer. Getting him plus
Chris Burke and
Juan Gutierrez for
Jose Valverde two seasons ago was a pure steal. Burke was a throwaway, but Gutierrez has value as an average bullpen arm, and even Qualls for Valverde straight up is still a win.

Jorge Campillo - Is he trying to look intimidating there? Because that's
Randy Johnson's shtick.

Bobby Jenks--Black Border - That's two closers in three cards. I like to keep a stack of all current MLB closers on my desk. This will update them somewhat.

Brian Duensing - Showing us how to grip the four-seamer. It's all about the fingertips, kids.

Jon Lester - The card back says Jon "appears to be emerging into a frontline starter." I hope not, because that would be painful for both Lester and the frontline starter in question.

Rich Hill - Gives us a more complete view of the four-seamer grip. Quite an instructional pack, this one.

Have fun, kids. More of these to come, so keep hitting F5. But not till tomorrow.

I think it would hurt more if Jon was emerging FROM a front line starter. Ouch.
