Thanks for taking the time Aaron, and congratulations on your first half success and promotions.

 

How many positions do you play in the infield? How many positions overall do you think you could play at a Major League caliber?

 

Thanks again and good luck in the second half.

Congrats on returning to the minor leagues. How difficult of a process was it having been released by Toronto and then playing 2 seasons in the Central League? Also, did you change anything this past off-season that led to your hot start in Edinburg and then carrying it over when you were sold to the Cubs?

Congrats Aaron on having such a terrific season so far!

 

What do you consider your greatest strength as a player? That is, what are you BEST at?

 

Conversely, what do you most need to work on as a player?

 

Here's to continued success for you.

Mr. Sisk-

 

What was your reaction when you found out you were getting a second chance with a Major League organization and what would you say were your goals heading into Peoria? Was there one thing that you really wanted to show the Cubs? Also, what did the organization tell you (if anything) about where you were going to fit in and what they wanted/expected from you?

 

Keep up the good work!

Mr. Sisk. First off, thank you so much for taking our questions!

 

My question for you is, what led you on the path to become a baseball player? Did you grow up idolizing pro players? Were you just really good at sports in high school and transition to baseball naturally? Or was it something else?

Thanks for taking our questions!

 

What has been the biggest adjustment for you so far in going from A to AA?

 

How did you find out when you were called up to West Tenn? (story plz)

 

How do players deal with picking up and moving when you're promoted? You've already gone from Edinburg to Peoria to Jackson this season. What help does the team provide in terms of just finding a place to stay?

 

I saw you play in Peoria, where you mashed. Good luck with the rest of the season!

Thanks for fielding (pun intended) our questions, Mr. Sisk.

 

I notice an improved BB/SO rate from you this season. Would you say that has been the biggest reason for the success you've had this year?

 

You have played all over the US (from Texas, went to U of New Mexico, Edinburg, Peoria, Tennessee, Florida, West VA.....what was your favorite place to play from a scenic point of view?

 

Lastly, how happy are you that Nomar is out of town, and you get to get back on the field everyday? :D
