THT Editor Positions


Just wanted to write a quick note to all the people who have been proactive enough to send followup emails in regards to the THT Editor positions we have open. We are reading through the very impressive emails we've gotten from all of you, but it is a time consuming process and no decisions have been made yet.

I expect that we'll be in contact with all of you before the end of the first week of January. Thank you for your patience.

Right and Wrong With MLB Today


Studes and I were both delighted this week to be invited by THT's pal Maury Brown to contribute to a feature on today's Biz of Baseball. A total of 30 writers, analysts, and executives each weigh in with their observations regarding "What's Right and Wrong with MLB Today." It's an intriguing read, and we thank Maury for including us.

SI: Matsuzaka Signs for $52 million, 6 Years


If this rumor is true, it means that Daisuke Matsuzaka will be getting considerably less money than Boras' rumored asking price of $20 million per year. In fact, using the methodology developed by THT's David Gassko, the present day value of that contract is only $41.5 million, or a measly $6.9 million per season.

In contrast, Gil Meche's five-year, $55 million deal signed just days earlier is worth $45.9 million—for one less year. Johan Santana, whose service time situation more closely approximated Matsuzaka's, signed a four-year, $40 million extension last offseason that's worth $42.2 million total, or $10.5 million per year.

Aaron Interviews Gardenhire


It's a coming-of-age story that says tons about the Internet when Aaron Gleeman represents a major media outlet and interviews Twins manager Ron Gardenhire at the winter meetings. You may know that Aaron, the co-founder of the Hardball Times, was rejected for a sports writing gig for his college newspaper, worked out his frustration by becoming just about the most prolific baseball blogger around, dropped out of college, and now writes for NBCSports.com.

Congratulations, Aaron. May bloggers everywhere gain inspiration from your story.
