Eric Stephen

As many of you have noticed Andrew has not posted or even logged in for several months. We know he's in good health so we will just wish him the best.

I need help in keeping our content fresh and flowing and with that in mind Eric Stephen will now be writing for True Blue. Eric can bring back to this site the analytical skill that Andrew delivered, which brought many of you here in the 1st place.

I'd like to add more but I'll let him introduce himself. What I do know is that he's smart, funny, and actually understands not only when to use to or too but how to calculate a MORP from a WARP1.

So is Andrew done with the site?

re: Andrew

I’ve asked Andrew to clarify what his position is with True Blue. For the moment SBNation has made me manager of the site. This might be temporary or it might not be. Going forward I have no idea what Andrew’s role is going to be until he responds to requests for communication.

If Eric Stephen enjoys blogging and I’m sure he will take to it like a fish takes to water he will be one of the main writers.

Query

Weren’t there any unemployed Kennedies who could have gotten this gig, instead?

I doubt there are any Kennedy's with enough free-time to blog on here

They’re probably all taking Small Aircraft flying lessons or practicing how to successfully drive over a bridge in Chappaquiddick without falling off…

Ah yes

I remember him talking about being swamped at work during the season. But of course, the Dodgers should be more important than money! ;-)
