Greetings.
If you're here, you probably already know who I am and I won't risk being called more arrogant than I already am by calling myself the leading expert on baseball injuries or something like that. I write at Baseball Prospectus and I consider myself lucky to do so. Why then do I need an additional outlet for my writing? There's probably no good answer to that other than vanity. Over at BP, my work is almost strictly injury related and I like to think that I can write more than that, tho many disagree with me. I write pieces about things like my favorite players, things I find interesting, and some of the things I get to do, like walk around Wrigley Field with an all-access pass or do Pizza Feeds and meet great people.
I'm also very active politically and BP is not really the place to air those views. Derek Zumsteg does it pretty regularly, but I'll confine my pieces to injuries and porn. I'm currently active with two campaigns - nationally, I believe that Wesley Clark is the best choice for America in 2004 and here in Indiana, I support Joe Andrews for governor.
So, what you won't find here is injury news (tho I'll occasionally discuss it since it's such a big part of my life), but you will find a little bit of everything else that is Will. (Be afraid, be very afraid.) If it's injury news you want, check me out at BP Premium. If it's the best baseball analysis, check out BP Premium. If you just want to tag along for an interesting ride on a non-regular basis, stick around. It should be interesting.
Finally, I'd like to thank Christian Ruzich for helping me set this up. I think he's one of the best baseball writers not currently employed at BP. Tell him we need to do another "C&C" soon.
