The Waiver Wire: Comings and Goings Edition
A little bit late, perhaps, but here's the weekly look at random stuff that wouldn't fit anywhere else.
***************
Comings Department: Check out Rising Suns -- the one and only Suns blog -- while it's still relevant. (Glad to see somebody filled the gap I noticed six months ago.) It's all basketball at the moment, so be warned...
***************
Goings Departments: Bye-bye Roses and Rattlers. Again. Come back soon.
***************
Coming Soon Department: Joe at Baseball Digest Daily kindly sent me a link to their
interview with Conor Jackson. Nothing earth-shattering in the interview, but it's always nice to hear a young batter talk about priding himself on pitch recognition. Considering Jackson's hovering at a .400 batting average, he's got nothing to be ashamed of.
***************
Arrived? Department: It's always interesting to read someone else's complete take on your own blog. The Baseball Savant dedicated a fair amount of reading time to the D-Backs' blogs, and published his thoughts here. This fair blog was one of two recommended, but I get the feeling that if Ryan just published more often, I'd've been edged out...
***************
And, speaking of interaction with critics, Bono recently sat down with Chicago Tribune music critic Greg Kot to talk about some criticisms Kot had leveled at the band. The transcript is interesting reading and makes you wish baseball players and management would be willing to sit down more often and engage in conversation on the record (pun unintended) with smart baseball writers and bloggers rather than sitting down for bland interviews, if at all.
