I'm excited to be able to give you a heads up about something that will be coming your way next week. I believe it is going to be the start of something big and I hope you will find it of interest.
Let me start by giving you some background information. Last year the guys at TwinsCentric put together an e-book publication they called the Trade Deadline Primer. What they offered to their readers was an in-depth look at the MLB trade deadline with a particular focus on the home-town Twins. They enjoyed surprising success selling the e-book to hundreds of their readers an that succes prompted them to expand the effort to all 30 teams. Every book would include deadline-specific coverage of all 30 teams, and every fan could buy a book with an even more in-depth look at their favorite team. The TwinsCentric crew selected team-specific bloggers from across the continent, choosing writers who knew "their" team as thoroughly as they knew the Twins.
That book - the 2010 Trade Deadline Primer - will be available for purchase and download next week. The Blue Jays content was written by your humble host and I hope that it well represents the high standards that have come to be expected from the Blue Jay Blogging community.
In the coming days, I'll be providing you with links where you can purchase the book via credit card or PayPal ($9.95 USD) and another link where you can preview a quarter-book (1/4 of the content of the whole) for free by providing an e-mail address.
I'm very flattered and humbled to have been invited to participate in this project and I sincerely hope that my friends and readers will find it worth their time and investment. Lest you think this is some low-rent operation, we have confirmed that Rob Neyer of ESPN will be contributing the forward and some of the content will be featured on ESPN.
Watch this space for more news as it becomes available. Oh, and follow the link above to TwinsCentric - these guys are good at what they do and this ain't their first rodeo so you need not fear you are getting an amateurish effort.

Don't be pushing your crap on Battersbox...
You're not an analyst, just a fan with too much time on his hands...
Get a fucking life!
I would think "submitted for your consideration" is a pretty low key way of calling attention to it.
But hey, if you wanted your opinion to be taken seriously, you'd put a name to it wouldn't you?
You want to come here and be an ass, you could at least be that honorable.
Congrats, Will, I look forward to it
Either Anonymous is green with envy, OR he desperately needs to stop spending time on baseball blogs and get himself another life.
As to me - I think it's a great idea and look forward to seeing whether our Southpaw reaches the third deck or takes a sombrero.
Either way I'm in for a lousy tenner. I bought Andy Seiler's Draft Book on line (also 10 bucks) and it was WELL worth the money.
Thanks guys
Nice!
Looking forward to it, can't wait!
