Exciting Things Happening Around Here

I don’t want to give anything away just yet or publicly announce what’s going on but I wanted to let everyone know that some exciting things will be happening around here in the coming weeks.

No, the blog isn’t going on a hiatus again or anything. When I took the hiatus, I took a look at the long-term future of the site and after thinking about it for a while, I decided to put a plan in motion.

Well that plan has started moving and in a few weeks, you’ll see it in action.

I will say I’m very excited for what’s going to be taking place.

SOX & Dawgs 2010 MLB preview – AL East

Welcome to the gigantic SOX & Dawgs 2010 MLB preview.  Over the next week you will get a team by team look at its key players, new faces, their potential MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year candidates, their possible starting lineup and rotation as well as a quick summary.

This preview was sculpted over a nearly seven week period in January and February with some mild tweaking as we went along prior to publication.  It comes from a culmination of reading so many baseball magazines, periodicals, articles and websites that in some cases I may know a team better that its own management.

Yesterday we looked at the NL East, Sunday was the NL West, Monday was the AL West, Tuesday we previewed the NL Central, Wednesday we took a trip around the AL Central and today it’s the AL East.
