Man, is there a lot of good stuff to read out there today!
First off, Cliff Corcoran of Bronx Banter and Patrick Sullivan of The House That Dewey Built are the participants in the Two on Two series over at the Baseball Analysts and preview the American League East. It's a good discussion so I encourage you to go check it out.
While I was reading that, I realized that I had completely forgotten about The House That Dewey Built, which is a very good blog. I don't usually read it a lot during the season but Sully's annual, and pretty detailed, look through every team is a great reference. Combine that with The Hardball Times' 5 Questions series on each team and you can learn quite a bit about the competition. If you have the time, I'd highly recommend both.
Finally, NoMaas is starting up a look at various baseball statistics. It's been done before but I'll be happy to see the NoMaas team inject their usual humor and Yankee-centric view into the discussion. They start off with one of the basics, batting average, and will be building up to some of the more advanced stuff in later days. If you're turned off by the idea of advanced stats, keep in mind that it wasn't that long ago that most people didn't know what OPS was.
