So, as the Wizards gear up for our season, and March Madness approaches, baseball is on its way as well, and Trey Hillman and the Royals look forward to their first season with the former Nippon Ham Fighter skipper at the helm. I finally got around to reading my backlog of baseball blogs, including Rob and Rany On the Royals. True to form, in the past month I had missed one post. As it happens, it was their last. Rob Neyer still has his stuff on ESPN.com, and Rany Jazayerli has struck out on his own (or at least as a natural extension of his work with Baseball Prospectus) with Rany on the Royals.
I mention this not only because I’ve loved reading that blog for years (and will miss it), or because I’m excited about more frequent thoughts from Dr. Jazayerli on our common favorite nine. Go there now, because the lead post links to an absolutely unbelievable interview with Brian Bannister. I won’t link it directly because I want you to add Rany’s site if you’re a Royals fan, but Bannister’s approach to his profession is a borderline shock, and definitely worth a read.
