- So I've already stated my new lease on (blog) life. However, I also wanted to mention that I was severely off base in a post made earlier this year titled "About this blog". I stated that there must not be a notable Reds blog, especially one with a "sabermetric focus", if the Reds' spot on Rob Neyer's Sweet Spot network wasn't yet filled.
Well, as I should have known, of course there are Reds blogs, lots of them, and lots of good ones. And that spot has since been filled by Redleg Nation, which is a fantastic blog that I now check every day. And on top of that, they are actually very sabermetric friendly over there. So, I'm not saying that anyone noticed, but I wanted to right that wrong.
- On the way home earlier this week I listened to ESPN's radio affiliate in Chicago interview the newest White Sox player, and former Red, Adam Dunn. The guy is still a great interview and was a great player for the Reds and it's a shame the perception many in Cincinnati had of him. I know it's been said plenty of times but his style, both on and off the field, was misunderstood and when he left the Reds definitely missed him.
I was hoping to have some stats prepared to show just how valuable he was to those Reds teams, but I mostly just wanted to get this down (and it's not like you can't look the stats up yourself!). Anyways, I will definitely be following him up here in Chicago and wish him the best.
