Yes, he was.  You can see an image of the card at http://www.miraclefans.com/players/kubel.html

 

The photographer (Al) that took that shot also has a number of stills of him on his website for sale .  There is a link off that page. 

 

You can e-mail jstecz@... and he can get a 2003 set for you.  I think they are like $6.00 + S&H.  (He is NOT in the 2003 FSL top prospects set however.)

Hi..I just found this site and decided to join.  Big fan here.  Saw
Jason play for New Britain this past summer and then we took a trip
to Rochester in August and saw him hit a home run vs Ottawa..I
believe the one you have in the photo album.  You have alot of great
shots here and some good information.   Love your autographed
memorabilia too.    I have the Rochester promo poster which is
autographed..bought it on ebay.   When we went to Rochester I was
unable to get Jason's autograph due to the fact I was sick pregame
and couldn't get down there.  our seats were right off the Red wings
dugout and he was close to us during warmups. We did get a couple
nice photos of him however.    I don't have any other memorabilia as
of yet but I will be buying the 04  Rochester set and the 04 NB set
asap.    Was he also in the 03 fort Myers set?  Oh yeah I do have the
04 Eastern league  prospect set too.      any help you could send my
way as far as collectibles you know of....certainly would be
appreciated.   I check ebay constantly for stuff..I am currently
looking for the Rochester refridge magnet from last season.   also
any old programs or anything I can find ..   Amy

Crash course: Fresh minor league callups Jason Kubel and Terry Tiffee
have been squeezing in extra fielding practice before and after games
in order to better acclimate themselves to the Metrodome's tricky
turf and deceptive ceiling.

"We're giving them as much as we can and they're doing OK,"
Gardenhire said. "We've got a good bunch of kids here. It's fun
baseball."

According to Kubel, the extra work has already started to make a
difference with his approach on fly balls.

"It's real tough, but you've got to get used to it," Kubel
said. "It's a little better than I thought it would be. You just have
to concentrate a lot more."

As for Tiffee, he impressed the Twins with his defensive showing
after being thrust into Wednesday's game as the second baseman.

"I think he's OK," Gardenhire said. "He looks pretty comfortable."

Tiffee was thrown right back into action on Thursday, receiving the
starting nod at third base.

"So far, so good," Tiffee said. "Every day I'm feeling a little bit
better. Them giving me a shot to play is great. That's all I want --
a chance to show them that I can play."

According to Gardenhire, Kubel's chance to showcase his abilities
isn't far off.

"We'll get him out there and swinging," Gardenhire said. "We're going
to get him in some games, we just have to be patient here."

Jason Kubel has been named the International League's Rookie of the
Year, and has been added to the post-season All-Star Team:

It's official; Jason has been called up to the majors!!!!  We all
expected this to be coming as of Sept 1st, but the call came a couple
of days early:

ymd=20040829&content_id=841672&vkey=news_min&fext=.jsp

Jason finishes his AAA season batting .343 and will have enough at
bats to qualify for the batting title.  Buffalo's Jhonny Peralta, who
will most likely be called up to Cleveland on the 1st, is .008
behind; batting .335.

BEST OF LUCK JASON!!!!  More links with news to follow shortly.

Jason Kubel went 0-3 in last night's 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Bisons.
His average has dipped to .350.  The Bison's Jhonny Peralta has
raised his average to .339.

The two teams will hook up again today at 1:35pm.

Baseball America's Prospect Pulse has Jason Kubel at the top of this
week's list. Included in the runner-up listing of hot prospects: SS
Jason Bartlett, 3B Terry Tiffee, and Quad Cities (Class A) LHP Glen
Perkins.

Jason went 1-3 last night, hitting his 16th homer of the season (hard
to believe that going 1-3 LOWERS your batting average).  Jason is now
hitting .353 with Buffalo's Jhonny Peralta at .339 and Durham's Matt
Diaz at .333.

'Wings beat Syracuse 3-1, and Dave Gassner picks up win #14.
Trailing Gassner in IL victories is Pawtucket's Tim Kester with 12,
Richmond's Mike Romano with 11, and Scranton's Dan Giese also with 11.

The Wings travel to Buffalo tonight for a two game series with the
Bisons.

Kubel May Be Twins Next Phenom (subscription required)
http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/columnists/9477527.htm

Jason also got a well-deserved night off last night, but the Redwings
fell to Syracuse, 13-6.  Twins phenom JD Durbin was roughed up for
nine hits, ten runs (all earned) in just two innings.

Jason's International League-leading batting average stands at .353.
Buffalo's Jhonny Peralta is batting .339 while Durham's Matt Diaz
stands at .333.  The Wings finish up a 2 game series at Syracuse
tonight.  The International League's wins leader Dave Gassner takes
the mound for the Redwings.

on Saturday after he hit two absolute bombs on Friday night.  I have
some pics from that game I will be uploading today.

Hey all,
Thought I would join this club. My family saw Jason at Twinsfest
this past Jan.2004. Then of all places after we left the dome we
went to the Mall of America.  Jason and his girlfriend or wife were
comming out of the Mall. My daughter recongnized him. I didn't think
anyone else did. Soon that will be a thing of the past.
Talented as he is, he will go far!

Good luck to Jason!

Jason Kubel hit 2 homers, went 2-4 raising his International League-
leading batting average to .356, scored 2 runs, and had 2 RBIs in the
Redwings 9-2 win over the Pawtucket RedSox.

I will have pics of the game and Jason up on Monday.

I have added 17 new photos to the Jason Kubel Fan Club this
afternoon.  All of them are located underneath the "Autographed
Memorabilia" folder in the photos section.

Please note: Please do not email me or post about purchasing any
Jason Kubel items; I do not sell autographs.

I will be attending the Rochester Redwings/Syracuse Chiefs game
tonight, and hope to have more photos added on Monday.

Jason Kubel went 1-4 with a double and scored a run last
night, "dropping" his league-leading batting average to .354.

The Redwings have a three game homestand with the Pawtucket Red Sox
starting tonight (Friday).  Former Diamondbacks pitcher Byung-Hyun
Kim will start for the PawSox on Sunday.

Scott Baker are expected to play for the Grand Canyon Rafters in the

Bowen.

Jason goes 3-5, with a HR, 3 RBIs and 2 runs as the Redwings beat the
Syracuse SkyChiefs 12-3 in Rochester last night.  Jason has improved
his International League-leading batting average to .356.

Great day for the Redwings yesterday, as they swept the Ottawa Lynx
11-6 and then 8-6.  In the first game, Jason went 1-3 with a double
and 2RBIs.  In the second game, Jason went 2-3 with a homer and 2
RBIs and raised his average to .352.

The Rochester Redwings site (www.redwingsbaseball.com) is tracking
the International League batting race between Jason, Buffalo's Jhonny
Peralta, and Durham's Matt Diaz.  Very convenient!

Found the NY Times Article, as it did appear this past Sunday.  I
posted it in the links section, however an online subscription is
required.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/15/sports/baseball/15minors.html

I added a couple of new links today; mainly the one from today's
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:

This is probably one of the best articles I have ever read about
Jason.  I plan to add news pics today of some autographed memorabilia
of Jason's.  Still looking for the news article about Jason from this
past Sunday's New York Times.

With three at bats last night, Jason Kubel has officially qualified
for the International League's batting title.  Jason went 1-3 last
night, with a double, a run and 2 RBIs.

Kubel leads by a hefty margin, .356 to .333, over Buffalo's Jhonny
Peralta and Richmond's Pete Orr.  Check the links section for an
article from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Jason went 2-3 with a run, and a double last night (8/12/04), raising
his league leading batting average to .356 as the Wings win a crazy
one 3-1.

In today's Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (8/13/04), "The New York
Times will have a feature in today's editions on Red Wings right
fielder Jason Kubel, who has the IL's best batting average at .356."

More info to follow once I track the story down.

Last night was Jason Kubel Poster night at Frontier Field.  I will be
loading a picture of the poster in the photos section soon.

Jason celebrated by going 2-5 with an RBI, and raising his batting
average to .353.  Barring a callup to the majors, Jason looks on pace
to win the International League batting title.

I saw Jason leaving the stadium with a ton of these posters for
friends and family back home.
