Guess who's NOT in 2007 Bowman?

Here's your one, and only, hint.

Luke Hochevar, MIA

You know, you just gotta hand it to the Topps marketing department. Putting last year's number one overall draft pick on all the wax boxes and pack wrappers is one thing. But it takes balls to put last year's number one overall draft pick on all the wax boxes and pack wrappers, AND NOT EVEN BOTHER TO PUT HIM IN THE ACTUAL PRODUCT!

That's right. I've scanned the checklist three times, and could not find the name "Luke Hochevar" anywhere. He's not in the base set. He's not in the Prospects "inserts." And nor is he among the autographs.

I just cracked an HTA box and will have a full box break sometime later this week. Let's just say that it won't be pretty.

Doesn't a player have to actually play in a major league game before getting a card?

If this is true and Luke Hochevar has never played a major league game, this is a cheap way of Topps getting around that restriction.
