I am enjoying writing this blog, but it is difficult to write with a word limit. My last blog was 100 words over the limit, and this one is a bit over the limit, too. Word and space limits are a necessity in print journalism, but I see them as more of a guideline with a blog. I am happy with my blog so far and I hope I feel the same way at the end of the class.
Baseball is a topic I can talk and write about year-round, so it will definitely keep me busy over the next few weeks. Player movement during the off-season is almost as exciting as the regular season to me, so I just want to learn where the remaining free agents sign.
Saber metrics are a controversial subject I would like to cover. Some fans swear by statistics like Wins Above Replacement (WAR) and Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR), while others completely ignore them. It would be interesting to take a look at pros and cons of using advanced metrics to judge players.
