Blogroll

Baseball scouts compare the players they see to others as a reference point.  To have a little fun and keep this from being yet another dry blogroll, I’ve identified a “comp” player for each blogger. There are dozens of great bloggers I read on a regular basis.  Here are a handful I’ve really connected with. Check them out, even if you don’t know the ballplayers.
