As some of you may have heard, I’m going to be writing for Fangraphs several times a week now. Most of this article is going to be about that, because I mean, who needs an excuse to talk about themselves? Not me. If you are looking for actual baseball content, you can Control+F for the phrase ‘self-important peacock.’ That should get you to the right place.
I can trace the reason I write about baseball to a hiring decision the San Diego Padres made. That sounds kind of weird, because the Padres barely matter in actual baseball these days, but they’ve greatly influenced my writing career.
