Remember that stuff Patrick Flood wrote about his jumpshot in his long-ass David Wright thing? Sometimes I feel a little bit of that when I write outside the confines of this blog now. I am so comfortable writing for people who read this site regularly that when I think about writing for new audiences, I feel compelled to show them why they should read this site regularly, then I start worrying that I’m trying too hard, and on and on like that.

The good news is that usually once I stop thinking about who’s going to read what and actually start writing, things flow OK and I wind up with a piece I’m no more or less happy with than the posts I make here. All of which is a long-winded way to say you should go check out my guest column at Baseball Prospectus today.
