2014 Spirit Base, Series 3: 601-615

In the interest of speeding things along, I'm now formatting the cards 3-up and 15 total per post. Also, since a lot of the guys featured are guys I don't know much (or anything) about, the writing will be much sparser as well.

#601 - Ender Inciarte, #602 - Tommy La Stella, #603 - Caleb Joseph
A bubble gum pic, a nice outfield shot and a unique catcher pic. Off to a good start.

#604 - Yoenis Cespedes, #605 - Chris Coghlan, #606 - Adrian Nieto
The forlorn Cespedes shot is pretty fitting. I'm sure he was just as blindsided by the trade as everyone else.

#607 - Brayan Pena, #608 - Chris Dickerson, #609 - Chad Bettis
I'm really glad the Bettis photo was able to fit without cropping something out.

#610 - Andrew Romine, #611 - Jon Singleton, #612 - Erik Kratz
Pretty satisfied with all three photos here. The Romine is a nice close-up action shot. Singleton's is pretty funny. And I like that Kratz is smiling.

#613 - Matt Shoemaker, #614 - Kevin Correia, #615 - Jarred Cosart
Three starting pitchers. I wonder what kind of impact Shoemaker will have on 2015 cards.

2014 Spirit Base Series 1: 131-140

#131 - Lucas Harrell
This is a really good shot, filling the card and also keeping the ball in frame.

#132 - Alcides Escobar
Right out of the gates, I'd say the Royals are the team with the best looking cards so far. Maybe it's the colors or something.

#133 - Josh Hamilton
This would be a great shot for a Panini release

#134 - Brandon League
That blue glove is kinda pretty.

#135  - Nathan Eovaldi
There weren't a ton of options for Eovaldi.

#136 - Aramis Ramirez
I don't see a lot of Ramirez playing but I always had the impression he was very serious and gruff. So that make this picture pretty cool to dispel that notion. I wish the Spirit logo didn't have to cover up any of his hand, though.

#137 - Kevin Correia
This is basically the same image as the Harrell card above just not quite as perfectly framed.

#138 - Juan Lagares
I really appreciate how quiet the fence is behind him here. There have been lots of really good photos I had to turn away just because they were plastered with some kind of inescapable corporate logo.

#139 - Hirko Kuroda
Great lighting on this shot. I also appreciate that you can tell he's a pitcher even though it doesn't show his windup or delivery.

#140 - Jed Lowrie
This is a nice, up close sliding shot that fits all of him in frame and shows his face. Probably one of the best so far.
