southsider2k5 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 CJ has agreed to talk to us, so let's hear what you would like to ask him. For reference sake, Scenario has done excellent work on his AAP page if you all would like more info on him. Hopefully this is the first of many talks we can arrange over the next few months. Let's hear those questions for CJ and for Sergio@!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) CJ, What's your favorite baseball position to play? I read somewhere that you suffered an injury your senior year at Arizona State. What happened and how did it affect your season? When you went to Arizona State did you see your future as a pitcher or position player? Congrats on your success so far. How is it that pro scouts screwed up and missed drafting you? Do you have a favorite moment as a pro player so far? A play or game that really stands out in your mind? Do you have a favorite moment playing baseball (at any level all the way back to being a kid)? A play, a game, or an experience that really stands out in your mind? How is it that Tim Blackwell decided to have Adam Ricks play every position in a game this year and not you? LOL. Who is the best player (or players) you played against in college? Who is the best player (or players) you have played against in the minors so far? We'd like to know more about you. Tell us about yourself. What kinds of things do you like to do when you're not playing baseball? What's your favorite food? What kind of music do you like to listen to? Do you have brothers/sisters? Did you have a favorite baseball team growing up? Who was your favorite player? Is there any player who you'd compare yourself to in style? Anybody that you patterned yourself after? What is the most exciting game you have ever played in? If you could pick a song that would be played when you came up to bat what would it be? Describe the process of how you came to be signed by the WhiteSox. What are the most significant differences you noticed between playing in the Pioneer League last year and the Carolina League this year? Pitching? Overall talent? Other? (I'm just brainstorming here. Use any/none of the questions as you feel appropriate.) Edited October 3, 2008 by scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighurt4life Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) 1. CJ, you played lots of different positions in college, do you think that this hindered your development as a player. Side note- in your opinion, did your lack of a position prevent you from being taken in the draft because teams didn't know what you were, or was it simply a case of your talent being overlooked? 2. Because you didn't have just one position in college do you think that this means that you have even more potential for improvement in your defense now that you can zero in on a position-specific set of skills? Also, do you think that settling in on one defensive position will help you at the plate? Moderator-feel free to adjust or reword questions as needed.

southsider2k5 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Do you see yourself as being a potential super-utility guy at the major league level, or do you think your best chance at the bigs lies in you mastering one position?

NorthSideSox72 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 How do you feel your undrafted status has effected your ascent through the minors? Have you spoken to any other undrafted guys who made it? Like Ehren Wassermann, for example? What has been your favorite stadium to play in so far? Least favorite? What's the funniest thing you've seen or experienced in your time in the minors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 All right, the questions have been sent to CJ, I will post the interview when we hear back.
