Do D-Backs players usually sign?

I went to the D-Backs game when they played @ Cincinnati on Saturday and had a really good time. It was fun being one of about 3 people in the crowd supporting the D-Backs, haha. Papa Grande actually threw me a ball in BP because he saw my D-Backs stuff I had on. Anyways, I went down to try to get some autographs and the only one who signed was Stephen Drew, who signed for about 2 minutes (I wasn't able to get him) and I honestly didn't see anyone else sign anything at all. I'm wondering if they usually sign things when they play at home? It was a blazer out there (anyone who has seen Vegas Vacation knows all about that :)) so I figured maybe they were just looking to get cooled off in the clubhouse before the game and that's why they weren't signing autographs. No biggie or anything, just curious as to why they wouldn't be signing anything as it seems most guys from other teams usually sign things for fans.

A few years ago I went a 2-3 hours before the game and they were signing. I'm not sure about now because my dad doesn't like to go to games early but I'm sure they do...

Yea I'm sure they do I was just a little disappointed I guess when no one signed considering it was my only opportunity to see the D-Backs this year. I guess it was because it was so hot and they wanted to get cooled off after BP.

They used to be forced to sign at home, at least, a couple players every game. I imagine on the road it is totally up to the players, and a hot day in the midst of a losing streak probably didn't leave them in the mood to sign.

In all of the DBacks games I have gone to this season, Valverde is the only guy who signs.
