With the site going live, Alex was asked questions by the fans, here are a few favorites:
mlb_com_member_3: Do you feel that Giambi has redeemed himself?
Rodriguez: No question. Comeback Player of the Year. No one will ever know how hard he has worked. I see it every day.
alexrodriguez: After you, or any other player strikes out on a called strike, I often see the player saying something to the umpire on your way to the dugout. What are you saying to him?
Rodriguez: I just perhaps tell him that I had a different vantage point than him on the third strike or even an earlier pitch. I have tremendous respect for umpires but they are human and veteran players and veteran umpires have a rapport. I still don't like being punched out though on a third strike.
Patrick_Ainslie: A-Rod, do you miss playing shortstop?
Rodriguez: No, playing shortstop was great, but it's in the past. I am a third baseman and I love the challenge of learning to master it every day.
