Coming Up on Ravings of a Baseball Fan

Taking a look into the future I thought I'd give a rundown of some upcoming series' I'm going to be running:

The next series coming up is going to be the futures. I am taking a look into the future to try and determine who the dominate teams are going to be. I have picked eight teams, each representing the eight playoff slots. The teams are (in no particular order): Boston, Kansas City, Seattle, Toronto, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Colorado, and Washington. Yes, you read right, Kansas City, Seattle, and Washington are on that list. The theme of the futures series is to look into a 3-5 year window to determine what teams (using only current players and prospects) have the chance at dominating their divisions. I also tried to take into account the intangibles (payroll, management, contractual obligations, etc.). The series will begin February 28th, and will be posted in order 8-1 (the one spot being the team with the best future).

The series I plan on running after that is a four step program. It will be a deep look into teams that have had major moves, trades, and drafts over the last couple of seasons. It is a way of analyzing who the big time GMs have been. The teams I will be looking into are Toronto, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Texas, and Seattle. This piece has nothing to do with on field production, but front office activity and results.

In between these two series' I will be working on a piece called "Why I love Baseball." To construct this piece I will be interviewing close friends and relatives to get their perspective as to why they love the great sport of baseball. I will also be using snippets from my love of the game. I hope to build a mosaic of passion for baseball. 

If you have any suggestions, or ideas for blogs, please let me know. You guys can email me or Facebook me. I would love to hear what my readers are interested in so I can work more towards satisfying all of you and keeping you interested. Thanks for all the support everyone and I hope you enjoy what is coming up!
