I’m snowed under by deadlines for my fantasy work (how odd does that sound?) but wanted to call attention to a few Baseball Prospectus-related appearances I’ll be making in the next two weeks. On Thursday evening (3/23, 6:30 PM), I’ll be at the Barnes and Noble on 1805 Walnut Street in Philadelphia, joined by Steve Goldman, Christina Kahrl, and Cliff Corocoran. On Sunday (3/26, 1 PM) I will be part of the largest gathering of BP authors ever, joining the aforementioned trio plus Nate Silver, Jonah Keri, John Erhardt, Neil deMause, special guest Allen Barra (and perhaps others) at the Yogi Berra Museum in Little Falls, NJ. As a bonus, we’ll all be wearing superhero costumes; I’m likely to appear as either Underdog or the Greatest American Hero unless Steve agrees to let me alter his oversized Spiderman costume in exchange for never starting a sentence with the word “But” in any BP-related item he’s editing. My Spidey senses tell me you shouldn’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

I’ll be wearing Kevlar on Thusday, March 30, when I host a BP chat at 1 PM Eastern time. The hot topic is likely to be the preseason version of the Prospectus Hit List, which will run that day, and I’m bracing to hear it from disgruntled White Sox fans unhappy with where their defending champs rank (hint: not first).

Also, I’ve been told to set aside time for a couple of radio spots in the Atlanta and L.A. markets on March 28 to discuss my takes on the teams I covered for Baseball Prospectus 2006. Further details TBA.
