Let’s skip the formalities/well constructed introductions. In my last post, I covered four of my preseason predictions that stunk. In this post, I will cover the other seven that didn’t stink. In this way, I’m able to abide by two Internet Baseball Writing rules at once: I’ve revisited a preseason

I’m all about originality when it comes to column ideas. For example, shortly after the Home Run Derby, I asked you which prospects you thought would some day win that exhibition. After Dylan Bundy got hurt, I deftly explored what Dylan Bundy’s injury meant for fantasy owners. And now, with

I think I need to stop playing in as many deep leagues as I do today. I say this because when I initially got my assignment to write this installment of our Last Minute Pickup series, my first thought was: crap. I’m going to be writing about the Alberto Callaspo-s,

I tried to resist. I was going to write about Kyle Seager. I was going to write about the Cubs’ third base logjam. I was going to write about what we can learn from Chris Tillman. But I am weak-willed, and so I must indulge. Today (as I write this

As I’ve stated before on this site, I’m a firm believe in the Internet Rule that standalone pieces should not exist. Columns, much like reactions, must have equal and opposite columns. This is true even if such posts are as benign as my piece last week, in which I highlighted

One of my favorite things about following and writing about prospects is how often I get to be wrong. If you’re going to write anything worth reading, sometimes you have to make bold statements or go out on a limb. When you do that, inevitably, sometimes you get burned. We’re
