No sir, I don't have a crystal ball, but I do have common sense.

On MLB team flights, adult beverages are often enjoyed. Usually, the youngest, most wet-behind-the-ears players will be responsible for carrying the beer and ultimately delivering it to the veterans.

Sports psychology suggests - and we as players have been taught - that negative self-talk can diminish our chances for success and that the opposite is also true. Given the talent, we can also think and speak our way to success.

I believe in my heart that the name of the game in baseball - from an offensive perspective - is getting on base and not making outs.

I won't step foot inside a new eatery without some strong recommendations or after consulting a site like Yelp or Urban Spoon.

By branding myself authentically, the eyeballs will come.
