Will Alfonso Soriano rebound from his mediocre 2010 season?
Doc
Oh...I thought 2010 was a rebound from the 2009 season. Don't expect much more in 2011.

Hi Doc. I was wondering who should start at second base this year.
Doc
Kosuke Fukudome. (He's as good as any other option.)

Will Carlos Silva coming into camp in shape and will he make the starting rotation?
Doc
No and No.
Timmy C.
Doc, why does Aramis Ramirez always say “What's up?” whenever he sees anyone. It seems like a kind of dumb greeting, and he say it to everyone.
Doc:
Did you ever think that maybe A-Ram just can't physically look up?

Is Wrigley Field actually safe to watch a game in? Crumbling concrete. Roof flying off. The place appears to be a death trap.
Doc
Wrigley Field is not safe. But, if you still want tickets, I've got a number of games I won't be able to go to...so give me a call and I'll be willing to sell some tickets to games against the Pirates and Royals.

| Don't worry, they'll just put up another net. |

Who will win the NL Central this year?
Doc
That's a really good question. My money is on Houston. They've done nothing to improve their team, so, logically, they must already be good.

Doc...who will win the Super Bowl?
Doc
You'll have to wait until tomorrow for my analysis of that.
Heather H.
Is it true that Laura Ricketts is the first openly gay owner of a major sports team?
Doc
Yes...that is a fact...and another fact is that Todd Ricketts is the first owner of a major sports team to have flunked out of kindergarten (but he's sure he'll pass this year).

| But he loves nap time. |
Peter G.
Doc, I have an itchy rash on my arm that is very red and has puss oozing from it. What should I do?
Doc
I'm not a real doctor, but I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep scratching it...I'm sure it will get better.
Barry S.
Will 2011 be a lot like 2007 with the Cubs turning things around an winning the division?
Doc
No.

| But we might see this again! |
That's all for now. Every once in a while I'll answer more of your wonderful questions.
