As a baseball blogger, this week is one of the most exciting of the year. It doesn’t matter how good or bad your team is, news is likely to break and rumors will abound as every team tries to improve. Here at Detroit Tigers Weblog we’ll have the meetings thoroughly covered.
I had intended to attend the meetings in Indianapolis but that didn’t work out. That’s the bad news, the good news is that I had already taken the time off from the day job so I’ll be tethered to the computer, listening to the radio, and watching TV to hopefully catch anything that happens quickly.
Mentioning every rumor isn’t the normal M.O. here at DTW, but this week will be different. So expect more posts than usual, and many will be in shorter form. Of course any moves that take place will be covered in depth as well.
My intention will be to do some live chats, both text and video, throughout the week and that schedule will be forthcoming.
To best follow the goings on here at DTW there are a few options:
- If you haven’t already subscribe to the RSS feed. While an email option is available, that only sends out a daily digest. The regular feed is the way to go for quick updates
- Follow me on Twitter @billfer. Info will be cross posted there as well and you may actually see things there first via re-tweets. Also, you may want to follow @TweetingTigers which aggregates new content from 20+ Tigers news sources.
- Become a fan of Detroit Tigers Weblog on Facebook. Yes, I’ve had a Facebook fan page for the site for quite some time, but haven’t done much with it. But now might be the time to get some value from it.
- I’ll also try and keep the payroll spreadsheet up to date as moves are made.
- If you’re away from your computer, you can still reach DTW via a myriad of smart phones. If you bring the page up on a mobile device and it isn’t mobile optimized, let me know and we’ll try to get that taken care of.
Billfer, you’ve done an outstanding job covering the Winter Mtgs. for us. Thank you so very much!!!
Indeed. And interestingly enough, I was googling some info about Rule 5 rules earlier this morning and I found Bilfer’s Rule 5 post on the 2nd page of my search, but that post doesn’t show up in the bookmarks and I can only get to it by manually clicking “next post” from this one. So I didn’t even know his Rule 5 article existed until I found it on google!
Oh and I saw your post about hating to lose Lyon, I’m right there with you sharing your pain. This is what I was afraid would happen, is that we would lose interest in our own players (Rodney and Lyon in particular who I both like) after scalping Edwin and Grandy for a quantity of pitchers.
