I get a lot of email questions asking where Ken Arneson went and why he "left" WCP. Ken's still here, just not writing publicly. Instead, he's working behind the scenes on tons of infrastructure improvements for All-Baseball.
His latest improvement is direct links to the BP Davenport Translation cards. I know most don't see beyond the links (which in the past have gone to Baseball Reference or ESPN) but that's the beauty of great technology. It makes the writer's life easier and better while seamlessly integrating into the reader's experience.
Here's a demonstration. To link these names, I just pressed a button. Corey Patterson. Jayson Werth. Albert Pujols. Joe DiMaggio. Pedro Martinez. Robb Nen. Carlos Beltran. Ichiro Suzuki. Scott Kazmir. Abe Alvarez. Eric Hinske. Jason Kubel. Craig Counsell. Pretty cool, eh?
So, while we all miss Ken's writing and hope he'll do more of it soon, he's still here, in "body" and in spirit.
