I've got the tapes.
On Monday and Tuesday David posted a running diary of his trip to Minute Maid Park for Fan Fest 2012 this past Saturday. Among the many behind the scenes things he got to do, as a representative of TCB, was a blogger exclusive interview with Brad Mills, Bud Norris and J.D. Martinez. He's handed off the audio of those interviews to me and now I'm releasing them for your listening pleasure
First up, Brad Mills who talked about his preparation for Spring Training, his accountability, Jose Altuve and Brian Bogusevic batting against left handers.

Next, Bud Norris talked about his rise through professional baseball, wanting to get to 200 innings and hanging with Jarred Cosart

The final interview was J.D. Martinez who talked about his surprising rise through the farm system, his unorthodox swing and learning how to handle Minute Maid Parks quirky left field.

Along with TCB were representatives from What The Heck, Bobby?, Tales From The Juice Box, Climbing Tal's Hill, Farmstros and Astros County (These are the blogs I've seen post stuff about Fan Fest; If I've missed a blog please let me know). I will be combining all three interviews into one audio file and posting it on iTunes later this week.

Gah! I hate the sound of my own voice.
I think microphones have it out for me.

Awesome interviews. I always like hearing stuff like this straight from the players.
