Aubrey Huff has become famous, or is it infamous, for being on one year, off the next. Take a look at Huff's last five years in terms of points and points per game:
2011: 261 / 1.7
2010: 476 / 3.0
2009: 299 / 2.0
2008: 504 / 3.3
2007: 338 / 2.2
I saw myself becoming the Aubrey Huff of reporting on our cherished league. On one year, off the next. And a part of me wanted to hang it up because frankly it was a little awkward wanting to blog again coming off a year i was fortunate enough to win the WBI Trophy. I didn't want to be "that guy."
But either way i'm "that guy" because now i've started a blog that i know less than 20 people will be even remotely interested in.
Whatever.
Welcome to the latest form of The Waffle Iron here at waffleball.blogspot.com
I plan on having smaller, more irregular posts with all of the same features: polls, opinions, reporting, evaluations, projections and even guest bloggers.
This will also eliminate a lot of time spent formatting and emailing which would often become cumbersome to me.
So, in launching an e version of The Waffle Iron, i put my money on Aubrey Huff this year. Figuratively. Yeah, only figuratively.
Seriously, you can have him. I don't want him. But Aubrey Huff represents EXACTLY what this part of the preseason is all about. We've had all winter to lick wounds, ponder regrets, and curse those injuries and slumps that plagued our team. Now it's time to bust out a new logo, maybe revamp the team name (lookin' to you Kalloz for a new name, and to you Hersh for a change in Roman numeral! Can anyone believe it's time to don Chemical Bonds VII if Hersh so chooses to?) and most importantly polish up that draft strategy.
My next couple posts will walk that tight line of wanting nothing more than to talk about the draft and at the very same time not wanting anyone to know anything about what i'm thinking.
Because i'm fine with you having Aubrey Huff, but who i really want is...
You'll just have to wait till Draft Day!
