Catcher’s Blog

While not too much is going on other than the normal Spring Training talk and what to expect, I realize my posting has kind of been sporadic lately. While I’m not making excuses, I do hope to remedy this now that the games are about to get into full swing.

First, there was a Braves Mailbag posted yesterday at around 10 PM last night, which is why I’m referring to it a day late. Some of the questions asked are sort of repeats, but not entirely. (Are we running out of questions, people?) The questions do delve a little into the ‘08 lineup and where it ranks, what our depth for 1B is (or isn’t), more about B. Jones, Matt DeSalvo’s chances of making the team, and also the old, but not forgotten question of Coco Crisp still being an option if Kotsay doesn’t pan out, which, so far, seems unlikely, according to both Braves writers, David O’Brien and Mark Bowman. 

I haven’t forgotten the Where We Stand series, I’m just writing it slower than I thought I would. I am going to finish it, I promise. It won’t be before or by tomorrow, but it will be in the next week or so. My “spring break,” which is technically just a week between quarters, is March 19–March 31, so I will have time to finish it. I hope that it won’t take me that long to finish writing the last three parts. 

I made an acutal contact page yesterday so that locating where to reach me is now a lot easier and more clear. I deleted the Mailbox page and moved the form to the Contact Info page, making things cleaner around the site and also easier to navigate it. I’m still trying to make little adjustments where I see fit, but I think I’ve gotten most of the site to my liking, for now at least.

But that brings me to my next point. I’m going to be playing around with a new layout, trying to make a new one for the site. The layout shouldn’t be that much different than the current one, but I’m going to see what I can do with a more or less blank theme. I still like the current layout, but I think the site needs a fresh look. I can’t help my perfectionist ways, so please excuse them. I’m not sure when the layout will be finished, but I wanted to let you readers know that that is what I’m planning to work on for the site the next few weeks.
