With Redbird Nation and Bambino’s Curse closing up shop in the last few weeks, Jon Weisman of Dodger Thougts takes a look at The Disposable Baseball Blogger. If you’re interested in the state of baseball blogging, it is an excellent read.

I know that over the last few months I’ve been contemplating the future of DTW. I felt bad that I neglected the blog for the last month of the season, and didn’t even weigh in on any of the postseason. A lack of time, and a lack of things to say are what kept me away from the keyboard. Posts about my lack of posting out numbered posts containing analysis or thoughts.

I thought about taking on additional writers to get more consistent and fresher material. In the end though, I wanted the voice of DTW to be mine, and mine only (whatever that means). I decided not to close up shop, because I don’t want to quit before I get the chance to blog during a pennant race. I’ve spent so long writing about bad teams, that I want the chance to cover a good team. Hopefully I’ll get that chance next year.

In the meantime, I’ve got a whole off sesaon to kill. Ideally, we’ll have quite a few Tiger signings or trades to talk about. In case we don’t though, I’m taking requests. If there are any Tiger topics you’d like me to address, let me know. If there is any analysis that you’d like to see done, let me know. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to do it, but I’ll give it a shot.
