The Baseball Analysts

Filed under: — Sully @ 9:37 am

Two of the best out there on the web have teamed up to form The Baseball Analysts. Rich Lederer and Bryan Smith, both of all-baseball.com fame, should make a formidable duo.

Rich is great because he unapologetically writes about whatever he is interested in at the time and has a magical way of making you interested in the same topics. Rich has done fantastic work contextualizing where lesser known stars like Jim Edmonds and Bert Blyleven rank in baseball history. He also spends a good amount of time at Blair Field in Long Beach, CA watching the Dirtbags play. I mention this because the park happens to be about two-and-a-half long David Ortiz blasts from where my girlfriend, Johanna, grew up. I have found few experiences as satisfying as taking in a summertime ballgame at dusk in Southern California and Blair Field is one of the best spots to do just that.

Smith focuses more on the Minor Leagues and his annual Top 75 list is an absolute must-read.

Good luck, guys!
