What's Buzz-worthy: We may not have landed any of the elite-level hits based on the player, but we did land some rare stuff with a Red auto (one in 727 packs), a red parallel of a strong prospect (one in 149) and even a parallel of a manufactured Relic insert (one in 199). This trip down to the minors is one that carries a strong and clean printing job with spot gloss over only the players on the base cards and a small array of inserts -- though it doesn't feel as varied as last year. You even get some surprises among the base set as well as some photo variations -- we didn't land any of those here -- as part of a big-league look at the guys who aren't there just yet.
