It's been slow here as of late. Too many things to do, not enough hours in the day. I'm way behind on getting up to speed with baseball and I haven't been paying any attention whatsoever to the NBA playoffs or NASCAR.
For years I counted myself as a hardcore baseball junkie. I played in multiple rotisserie leagues, followed the box scores religiously and knew every organization's top prospects. That's no longer the case - the leagues have died off and I no longer have a subscription to a major newspaper.
Part of getting back into the game - and I do think that baseball is going to be where it's at - involves finding some regular online reads. Ideally, I'm hoping to find the equivalent of Aaron Gleeman for a variety of teams, backed up by some local beat writers. If I'm really really lucky, I can use RSS feeds and an aggregator to create a "virtual newspaper" so that keeping on top of things won't suck up all of my precious free time. It's a work in process.
Anyway, I'm signed up for a blogger bragging rights freeroll at Draftbug tomorrow. I'll be posting later about the entrants and just how poorly my selections fare.
