July Trade Deadline Primer
So as you’ve noticed here the
last week or so, I have been rather busy, and posts have generally been
smaller, and I even missed a day or two. Life gets a little busy sometimes. So,
what did I do to “help” that situation… Wrote another book! That’s right, over
the last few weeks, a group of Twins bloggers including John Bonnes (The Twins Geek), Parker Hageman (Over the Baggy), Nick Nelson (Nick’s Twins Blog) and myself have joined efforts to write a book. Yes,
that makes life less stressful and more relaxing!
Anyway, if you’re a baseball
fan, one of your favorite times of the season is during the last half of July.
Each and every team’s fan base spends countless hours thinking about and developing
the perfect trade for their favorite team. Is my team a buyer or a seller? What
are the strengths of the team at the big league level and deeper into the
system? What are the weaknesses in the team’s lineup, defensively or on the
mound? Sites like MLBTradeRumors.com are such a great thing during this time of
year. But generally speaking, the Twins don’t get a lot of play nationally. So,
we decided that we would help Twins fans with this situation. We have
developed:
