How is it playing in left field with the Green Monster?

11:57

Rob Bradford - Thanks for joining us Jason. Submit you questions and we will try and get to as many as possible

11:59

Jason Bay - Playing left field in Boston is great for a few reasons. The history of the wall and all the players who have played there in past years make it really special. I think that the monster is a little intimidating at first, but after getting used to it, I really like the nooks and crannies and the effect that it has on the other team and players who aren't used to it.

Hey Jason...did you find that Fenway helped your offensive production in comparison to playing in a park like PNC?

12:03

Jason Bay - It''s definitely a whole different comparison when you're talking about PNC park and Fenway. The monster is very close and left center field in Pittsburgh was roughly 400 feet, so I would say that the Green Monster didn't hurt my offensive numbers. That being said, I think more than the ballpark dimensions, the team I had around me in the lineup probably had a greater effect. When you have a former MVP, a guy who steals 70 bases and numerous high on base percentage guys hitting in front of you, it makes it easier.

Jason if you could attribute 1 reason to the unfortunate early playoff exit for the Sox what would that be?

12:07

Rob Bradford - I cant give you one reason a combination. It was no secret we didn't hit very well. Now do you attribute that to good pitching or poor hitting. I say it was a combination of the two.

Hey Jason, whats the most important factor for choosing which team you will sign with?

12:09

Rob Bradford - There isn't one important factor. The funny thing is that everybody has an opinion of what I'm waiting or or what I'm doing and I don't even have an opinion, and that's the truth

12:09

Rob Bradford - The last two answers were obviously from Jason

Phillies or Yankees and why

12:13

Rob Bradford - (JASON BAY) It's funny after playing baseball all year I don't really pull for one team or another. I just enjoy watching it.

What is it like playing for Tito, and of all the team mates and coaches you have played with, who in particular has really helped you elevate your ability?

12:16

Rob Bradford - (JASON BAY) Really, really enjoyed the atmosphere that he created. Boston is one of those places there is a lot of media and he does a very good job of not letting that affect his decision and let everybody does their job. I really enjoyed Brad Mills also, and wish him the best. He has great people skills like Tito, and like it or not that's what a manager needs.

[Comment From Martin from NH]
How do the Pittsburgh fans compare to Boston fans

12:18

Rob Bradford - (JASON BAY) Pittsburgh and Boston are very similar in their passion for sports. Obvioulsy the Red Sox have had more success lately than the Pirates, but if you ever had a chance to go to a Steelers or Penguins game you would understand the two cities have a lot similarities
