F&F on reduced schedule? BOOOO!

[crotex]

I just read in the subscribers newsletter that the plans are for the F&F column to run only twice weekly for each league during the season. IMO that is inadequate. I find that column very valuable. I'd prefer to see a daily column that includes both leagues. That gives subscribers the ability to see significant information on a daily basis, in stead of having to wait for the next F&F cycle to roll around.

My 2 cents.

Just to be clear, it's twice-weekly for the AL and the NL. So the reduction is just from a total of 6 columns per week to 4. With the volume of guys we covered in F/F over the offseason (and even dating back to last September's columns), and the fact that in most cases nothing has changed from a skills perspective (and those pieces are available in Playerlink), we have a good base of still-current analyses for many prominent players on the site anyway. And it takes at least the month of April for in-season data samples to get relevant enough to start interpreting. If we get into May and 4 columns/week isn't proving sufficient, we can revisit this decision. But for now, this is the plan.
