There's always a story about a player that wants to play Winter Ball in his home country, but the team tries to talk him out of it. He plays anyway and the team can only hold it's breath that he doesn't get hurt or wear out his arm.

Over the last couple weeks, I've felt like that guy who comes back and realizes halfway through the spring that he's got dead arm. It's not writer's block, it's just a few too many pitches from my writing arm. I'm dead penned.

So, instead of forcing out blogging, Im focusing on getting through the THR's and turning up the quality there. I hope everyone's enjoyed them. Really, the only complaint I've gotten is that I don't have them all out there so people can use them in drafts. I even heard from one GM who's waiting on his ... and yes, I'm teasing him with it.

Thanks for sticking with TFD and I through a bit of a dry spell. There's no structural damage and I think I can take the ball again soon.
