Beginning June 14, you can read Rob Neyer’s column four times a week as part of ESPN Insider. You will find Rob’s insights at MLB Insider, as well as peppered throughout ESPN.com’s baseball coverage.
Well, okay, now I just save some time and only check the site when Primer posts the link to Gammons’ new column. I’m already getting more baseball coverage with the premium site I do pay for.
I don’t want to be rude, but besides the musician/rumor dude, the free side now has this collection of a suckatitude
– Phil Rogers, who I avoid in my paper
– Jim Caple, who you can mad lib quite easily by now
– Buster Olney, who only makes me care in the “I can’t believe they’ll publish ANYTHING”
– Jayson Starks And His Wild World Of Trival Numbers
– Kurjian articles, which are only good for reading in his voice.
– and a host of others I don’t know or care about
Enthralling. And on a page that has fifty million sidebars.
Neal over on Page2 actually is the best baseball columns left standing on the domain. Who’d thunk it.
I used to subscribe to Jim Baker’s newsletter before he hit went Insider last season, and like many a baseball dude, Neyer was The One when I started reading all the stuff on-line, but when there’s so much stuff – if not as good, than sometimes better – out there for free on baseball, I’m not sure why I’d pay.
Wait just a second!
[Baseball Prospects/Welcome] Hi. My name is Jim Baker.
That explains that now, doesn’t it? I think this turn out well for ME and my sub to BaseballProspectus, so okay.
