Player Profiles at Patton & Co are coming. [I posted yesterday, a bit prematurely, an invitation to the site, but some problems have come up that our crack programmers are dealing with. I’ll post a message here when the site is back up.]
This is brand new and very exciting. Essentially it’s 1,800 individual message boards, one for each of just about every player you can think of having any baseball presence at all this year.
You can ask questions about them. You can report the latest news on them. You can banter about them. This is RotoWire and RotoWorld, in a way, but instead of being a spectator you’ll get to be a part of the information processing.
Hear a rumor? You can post it. Have an insight? Run it by some of the smartest baseball fans we know. At Patton and Co. you are in the mix, and the mix is all the richer for it.
Plus you get Alex Patton’s bid prices and price scans.
The idea was Alex’s, and I’m chipping in because I think this is the next wave of baseball information. So Pattonandco.com will be where you’ll find me writing about players during spring training and the season.
Check it out. For now all it takes is a login name and password to get access. Starting on March 10 there will be a small fee, $10, which Alex hopes will pay for the rather large bandwidth charges he ran up last year.
In any case, you have a month before you have to decide. Come read, come write. I think you’ll enjoy it.
