As you may have already heard, Fangraphs is hosting a live event in New York City on August 7th about “the changing face of baseball media”. Jonah Keri is scheduled to moderate the panel. It will include former Deadspin editor Will Leitch, Michael Silverman, Alex Speier and David Biderman, all of whom have different, unique roles in the world of baseball media. On the stat/nerd/awesome side, plenty of Fangraphs guys are going to attend, including David Cameron (the #6 org guy, not the British PM), David Appelman, Carson Cistulli and Bryan Smith. The RiverAveBlues guys are going to be there too, so the Yankees’ blogosphere will be well-represented.
The event is scheduled to last from 9 am to 12 pm and the cost of entry is $15. It’s being held in the Florence Gould Hall, which you can check out here. Frankly, I’m surprised they’re letting a bunch of basement-dwellers like us in. All joking aside, this promises to be a very interesting and informative conversation about the way that baseball is understood, discussed and reported. Personally, I think it would be fun to meet and talk to some of the guys I feel like I already know from the internet. I’m not certain that I’m going to be able to make it, but I’m going to make every effort to attend and I’d encourage you to as well. You can buy tickets here, and please let me know if you are planning on attending.

reports are that Yankees offered Montero for Soria.. thoughts?
I don’t like it, and I don’t really understand it. I’m a bit skeptical of Stark, so I want to wait to hear it confirmed by other reporters before I get too worked up.
I love the part about the Royals not being interested though. That just kills me. Oh no, you’re all set at the catcher/1b/DH slot for the next 6 years, Royals? Want to keep giving Jason Kendall those at-bats? Maybe thinking about giving Mike Jacobs another chance? Or do you just not like players that do things well, like hit for power and get on-base?
Again though, I want to see if this is just another one of those rumors.
I completely agree with everything you stated.. if true it all but guarantees that the Yankees do not see Montero as a catcher. To offer him for a reliever really says a lot about what they think of him (no matter how good Soria is). The Royals would have to take that trade in a second, what good is a closer anyways with how bad their team is.
I think all Yankee fans should hope that this is a false rumor or it is clear that we rate Montero a lot higher than Cashman does.
