Just a thought...

Hey Brandon, I'm enjoying the blog and a Q & A is a nice idea. Do you have instructions from Dave Stockstill or your Keys' coaches to work on anything specific while in Arizona? I guess you're not playing any 3B this fall?

Good stuff, man. Thanks for doing this.

If you can answer any of these questions, that'd be cool:

Any superstitions you can share?

Who was your favorite player as a kid? (one you saw play, and one before your time).

Seriously, who was your favorite team as a kid?

What major league ballparks have you been to?

Do you want to play winter ball in Latin America when you get closer to the majors?

What do you need to improve to reach The Show?

What's the toughest thing about being a professional ballplayer? The best thing?

What's the average numbers of letters you receive each week requesting your autograph?

What's the first concert you ever went to? First record you bought?

Hey Brandon,

I'm here from the Orioles Hangout, I don't know if you check out that website, but we do a lot of talking about minor league players on there ... everyone is really pulling for you out in Arizona.

One question I wanted to ask, which I guess could be to any player; do you find that working with a different hitting coach from other teams helps you to find holes in your swings or approach the plate differently? Do you find that different techniques actually throw you off?

I'm curious if help from outside the organization helps you get a different perspective on the game to make you a better player.

hey Brandon! Just wondering what you would want to do for a career if you weren't in baseball? What song do you like to listen to that helps you get pumped before a game? Also, what place would you like to go to that you haven't been before? Random I know haha. Anyways, hope you're having fun in AZ and have a great rest of the season! :)

Hey Brandon,
thanks for doing this.

I was wondering, do any of you guys read websites like orioleshangout or camdenchat to see what the fans think of you?

Did you follow baseball when you were a kid?

Have you ever been to Orioles Park?

Do you ever get a warning in advance before you get promoted, or does the organization just move you?

thanks so much.

Hi Brandon! What is your favorite number? Is it 29 haha. Did a golf ball hit your house yet?! What do you like to cook??

Hi Brandon.
I have a few questions.
What do you guys do during your free times?
are you happy about getting the chance to play for the Orioles who have won a lot of championships in history?
do most minor leaguers go out drinking if you're over 21? what are the rules about that?
Have you visited baltimore and a ravens game or orioles game?

Thank you man, i love the orioles and hope you can help us.

Whoops, I never saw that picture of you with Sammy Sosa and I think Miguel Tejada and/or Roberts/Rafael Palmeiro. That's so cool!
What did you think of Oriole Park, were you impressed?
Also what do you guys watch on TV?
Have you spoken to guys like Brooks Robinson or Jim Palmer yet?

Thanks!

Brandon, thanks for inviting us to participate. I notice that you are playing 1B and DHing exclusively. Have you or the Orioles given up on any thoughts of your playing third base? I'm assuming cathing is permanently in the past. Thanks,

Kevin M.

Hi Brandon
I have been an O's fan for many years. I live and die with the O's. It's a nice touch that you want to answer fans questions. It gets them more involved in the O's and is informative. I don't have any questions, because the fans before me have ask some interesting questions. I hope you get time to answer some of them. I'll be checking in from time to time.
Have a good season and hope to see you in the bigs in the near future.
