First off, I want to thank Mike McCarthy for providing most of the formatting of this page. I used his format because I thought his site was effective. He also provided information which was very helpful to making this site. Many thanks to Mike, and I suggest you check out his page.
This page lists the probability that you will get an autograph back from a player. I have divided up all baseball players into four groups: 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. 0's are the players who never sign any mail. 4's are players who you have almost a 100% success rate with. The rest of the players fall somewhere in between there. Look under the number headings to see how each group signs. This page should be useful in determining who to write to. Good luck.
If I change the section a player falls under, I will have that player's name in red. I will also have a player's name in red if I have just added him to the page.

These player never sign any of
their mail. If you're lucky, they might send you back
your card unsigned. However, usually if you write to
these guys you will not see your card again. Don't
waste your time and stamps on these players.

These players are very bad signers.
They are almost as bad as a 0, except at some point in
time they have signed for someone. It just won't be
you. At most, these players sign 5% of the time.
Actually, that's too high. They are not worth your
time and stamps.

These players have signed for people
on occasion. They are not very good signers, and are
inconsistent in their signing habits. You have at the very most
a 50% chance of getting their autograph.

These players are good signers. I'm not guaranteeing
that you will get their autograph, but you have a good
shot, around a 75% chance. If you write to these guys
in Spring Training, you will almost always get their
signature. Return times vary, and some of these players
may take a while to get back to you.

These are the best signers in baseball. They are guaranteed
to return your card signed, and for the most part, they
sign very quickly. You can write to them at either their
team address or their home address, either way you should
get a success. I'd say that they sign 99-100% of the time.
