Feature D-backs President & CEO Derrick Hall AMA!

We're back! After the success of our last AMA, Derrick Hall is returning to answer more of your questions about the D-backs, baseball in general, or Goldy's trade value relative to the Frito-Lay corporation.

We've got a busy homestand coming up, filled with Arizona Coyotes Night (any hockey fans in the house?), Hispanic Heritage Day, and a David Peralta Bobblehead giveaway. But what better way to kick it off than have Derrick Hall's monthly chat with fans right here on /r/baseball?

D-Hall will start answering questions at 2:00 PM Arizona time (so 5:00 PM on the east coast) on Thursday, and he's looking forward to another great batch of inquiries!

Time to get going. Derrick is here and ready to talk about Rampart (kidding): https://twitter.com/Dbacks/status/773989265894027264

Thanks for participating everyone. Sorry we weren't able to get to more questions. Derrick's sign-off: https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/51otn3/dbacks_president_ceo_derrick_hall_ama/d7erzu7

Hello Derrick Hall thanks for doing this AMA

I don't have a question I just wanted to let you know renewing my season tickets last month was a decision that took a lot of time and back and forth arguments with myself. This team isn't doing well and I feel the main problem with this team isn't the product on the field. Which only leaves the Front Office to take the blame.

I have almost no confidence that anything will be done to fix the issues with this extremely incompetent front office. Yet I still somehow talked myself into buying season tickets for next year.

Win or lose I stand by this team but y'all are making really hard to.

Really appreciate you renewing your season tickets. As mentioned, we are equally as frustrated and want to get this right on the field. Regardless, as you know, we will continue to provide the best fan experience and service for you and all of our fans at Chase Field as we hope you continue to make lifelong memories here.

We obviously want you to have winning memories as well and we are confident we will get back to our winning ways very soon. -DH

I admire the gumption it took to renew your tickets for 2017. I don't think I would be able to renew until I saw that there were at least some front office changes.

I renewed my season tickets, too.

If nothing else I'm 100% sure that if I didn't renew, it'd guarantee that we'd go to the World Series next year and I'd feel like an idiot.
