Derek's Daily Baseball Links


Recommended Posts

I posted these in the "GIANTS FANS ARE THE DUMBEST IN ALL OF BASEBALL" thread, but it doesn't belong there. I go to these sites -- and a few more -- every day. I spend more time reading about baseball than anything else. Here's a cross-section of my daily bases stuff.Enjoy.1) Fangraphshttp://www.fangraphs.comThese guys are awesome nerds, and the site has mini-articles written and posted more than daily. Their stats collections are near peerless.2) USS Marinerhttp://www.ussmariner.comA Mariners fan site. I read it daily even though I'm not a Mariners fan because these guys are shockingly good. Just fantastic. Dave Cameron also contributes to fangraphs.3) MLB Trade Rumorshttp://www.mlbtraderumors.comExactly what it sounds like.4) Joe Posnanskihttp://joeposnanski.com/JoeBlog/Joe writes for the KC Star, and started a blog to promote his Buck O'Neill Buck "The Soul of Baseball." He kept writing it. He's a fantastic writer.5) Fire Joe Morganhttp://www.firejoemorgan.com/Comedy writers and baseball fans send-up bad journalism. I hate bad logic, and these guys do, too, so: yay!6) The Baseball Analystshttp://baseballanalysts.com/Rich Lederer and friends analyze baseball. Like everyone on this list, these guys have a very rational, reasonable, SABRmetric bent. Good stuff.7) The Hardball Timeshttp://hardballtimes.com/Lots of content.9) Rob Neyerhttp://sports.espn.go.com/keyword/search?s...tring=neyer_robThe man himself. The only problem is, lots/most of his ESPN stuff is ESPN-Insider only, which is subscription-based.10) Shysterballhttp://shysterball.blogspot.com/Craig Calcaterra's take on baseball action. Lighter, less analytical, but still insightful.11) Sabernomicshttp://www.sabernomics.com/sabernomics/SABRmetrics and economics. The site has fallen off a touch lately, and as such has been moved down my list.

I used to read Fire Joe Morgan religiously. Those guys are hilarious. Don't say something stupid about baseball on TV because they will call you on it.

Jonah Keri wrote a solid baseball article for ESPN last year but I haven't checked for it in a while. I can't surf the web at work any more and hate being on the computer while at home.BizzlePants turned me on to it.

Anybody post on baseballthinkfactory.org?
Yes, pretty often. I'm not telling who I am, though.

Jonah Keri is good. He contributes over at "The Hardball Times" sometimes. He's almost like a freelance analyst with a pretty strong sabermetric bent.And, yes, JoePos is the nuts.
