@TheRealJGuts (Jeremy Guthrie)

Jeremy Guthrie is a pitcher for the Kansas City Royals. He was picked 22nd overall in the 2002 draft by the Cleveland Indians Guthrie has also seen time with the Baltimore Orioles, and the Colorado Rockies. On November 20th 2012 Jeremy signed a 3 year $25mil deal.
All of these questions were sent to Jeremy via DM he responded pretty quickly for a guy who was in the middle of signing a new contract. It appears as a few of my normal questions were cut off when sending them to him so I will have to try and get those out to him as well.

A: "I saw pictures of Astros players parking Bud Norris' older car on the warning track during batting practice."

Q: What is your favorite off season activity?
A: "My favorite off season activity is to travel the world!"

Q: What is your favorite sport other than baseball?

Q: Do you collect sports cards/memorabilia? If so anyone in particular?

A new thing I am trying is letting some of the followers on Facebook submit questions they would like to ask. I will try to pick two for each interview I send out. For this one we had a question from Morgan Fox

Q: "Ask him about his shoe collection!" I rephrased it this was "I heard you have a pretty extensive shoe collection, care to tell us about it?
A: "Shoe collection is extensive indeed."

Bryan Timmers was chosen as the other person to submit a question he asked
Q: What is the strangest commercial offer you have received?
A: "Never had a commercial offer."
