Today marks the two year anniversary of the infamous 'Cardinals Winter League Notebook'. A small project that I pitched to Brian Walton at The Birdhouse for what I would call a fill-in for the baseball fans that wanted a little something over the cold season.
This small project grew as the winter turned into spring and players returned to camps to make their push for establishing themselves on rosters. I once again took it upon myself to pick up on covering the Venezuelan and Dominican Summer Leagues that very 2008 season. I saw an opportunity for myself to add something to the Cardinals nation since pretty much all other levels were being written about from Triple-A on down.
After a now two years (and a site name change) of passing on information on Latin players and winter coverage we have seen an increase in the chatter and coverage by major and minor affiliated sites. That in fact was my goal.
I thank everyone for their interest and will continue to bring the best on the Cardinals Latin players for another year and hopefully so on. I'm extremely happy and excited to see this project grow into what it is today. I'm even more happy to see the fans pick up on the small things from the international signings to how they develop over the years.
