The Community Blog Lives!
Since its inception in May of 2010, the Community Blog has (a) provided a space for some excellent work by the FanGraphs readership but also (b) occasionally fallen through the editorial cracks (and not in the gross way that you’re imagining).
After some serious-type conversations and more than one fistfight, however, we believe that we’ve established a sustainable way of reviewing submissions in a timely and efficient manner. Today, for example, we’ve published James Lewis’s article proposing a totally creative and equally unlikely solution to the Cardinals’ shortstop hole (again, not disgusting).
Please acquaint yourself with the guidelines for submission if you’re interested. Ready to submit a post? You can do that here with your FanGraphs user name (register here, if you don’t have one yet). Already published an article somewhere? Feel free to cross-post.
We’re looking forward to your submissions.
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
….and I’m here to help, too!
Carson, are you filling in for Dave as FanGraphs’s full time employee? This seems like the sort of announcement he would usually do!
I’m still here, but leukemia treatments are going to steal some of my time for the rest of 2011, so we’re redistributing some responsibilities around to try to make sure FanGraphs remains awesome regardless of how active I can be.
Dear god, why would you delegate any responsibilities to Carson?
To save us from this fate, you need to get fully healthy and come back.
Absolutely first rate and cpepor-bottomed, gentlemen!

I’m very happy about this. Will posts that were submitted a while back be reviewed as well?
You would do best to re-submit your, uh, submission. This sets the Editorial Wheel a-turning.
Apologies, in advance, for any inconvenience this might cause.
I’m curious about the fist fight participants/victors/losers. Much mocking is necessary.
It wasn’t pretty, is all you need to know.
