I don't do this very often, but work and other projects have been kicking my butt recently, so I haven't been able to do much blogging myself. With the news last week about Bud Selig's statue at Miller Park (coming immediately on the heels of my ballpark statues post), and with the retirement announcements of two future Hall-of-Famers, Frank Thomas and Tom Glavine, it's not the best time to be silent.

Thankfully, though, there are plenty of other great baseball blogs out there still churning out the quality writing. Here are a few links to some posts you might have missed:

  • 3:10 to Joba is giving out a copy of the new Baseball Prospectus 2010 Handbook. Just hop on over and send in an email (or tweet about it). A pretty sweet deal, if you ask me.
  • The Brewers Bar is the newest Brewers blog here at Bloguin, and I'm really enjoying Jaymes' work. For Valentine's Day yesterday, he took the time to write some love poems to a few of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) Brewers. Good stuff.
  • Staying within the Bloguin family for a minute, there's a great series going on over at Around the Horn: the Great Bloguin Baseball Debate. Writers from all over the network weigh in (including myself, in the near future) and debate over a given topic. There's already been a few excellent debates, including this piece about the Nationals and Stephen Strasburg.
  • This is another piece from last week, but, unless I want to wait until Thursday for the next installment - and I don't - it'll have to do. One of the best additions to the baseball blogosphere recently is Walkoff Walk's "This Tweet in Baseball", where Rob goes over some of the best Twitter updates of the last week from baseball personalities. It's always fun.
  • Finally, this isn't baseball-related, but it's still pretty cool. With Olympic hockey getting underway Tuesday - the absolute best reason for the Winter Olympics - you may want to know about the Olympic Hockey Blog, which plans to be all aflutter with activity over the next two weeks. Sounds like the place to be.
Enjoy the links, everyone.
