I got a couple older Bowmans out of my boxes with this TTM success from Jon Kibler. He signed a 2009 Bowman and 2009 Bowman Chrome. Both cards look really nice, and Kibler has a nice signature.
Kibler (b. 1986) was a 30th round pick by the Tigers in the 2007 June Amateur Draft out of Michigan State University. He played in the Tigers system from 2007 to 2010 and then in Independent ball from 2011 to 2012. His minor league was 31-27 with 339 strike outs and a 3.53 ERA. He had one really great year for the West Michigan Whitecaps in 2008 when he went 14-5 with a 1.75 ERA. It earned him a promotion AA Erie in 2009, but he faltered, going 6-9 with a 4.08 ERA. I wonder if he would have benefited from being moved along more gradually, maybe to High A, before being promoted all the way to AA.
I mailed to Kibler on November 16 and got the cards back on December 12, for a 26-day TAT.
