Look who's blogging now!

Brett Christopherson, the once and future Timber Rattler beat writer from the Post-Crescent, has a blog. It's called...um, The Post-Crescent's Timber Rattler Blog? Come on, guys.

His latest post is here and it is titled Lawrie to Wisconsin?. A taste.

One of the more common questions following September's player development agreement between the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and Milwaukee Brewers has been this:

Will Brett Lawrie wear Rattlers gear this season?

Baseball America thinks so. The publication, as part of its annual Prospect Handbook, projects the 19-year-old second baseman to make his professional debut this season at Wisconsin.

"Lawrie is an exceptional hitter, especially for his age, with a quick bat, aggressive nature and burgeoning power," Baseball America said.

The scouting report closed with this prediction: "He should hit enough to be a big league regular at any position."

Lawrie...Lawrie...That reminds me. You know who else has a blog now? Brett Lawrie. It's called Laying Down the Lawrie

His first post goes a little something like this:

Hey. This is Brett Lawrie. I was asked to do this blog and thought it might be worth a shot, so here goes. Was told I could talk about anything as the 2009 season moved forward, which I liked.

2008 was a busy year, for sure. Tons of travel, many baseball teams, lots of fishbowls. All the predraft events. Team Canada. The Draft. World Juniors. Olympics. Instructs. Training in Az. While I really like pressure, it is certain that 2009 will be a simpler year with far less running around - I can finally focus on playing games almost every day. This is exactly what I live for.

In the comments, he is asked if he knows where he is going to be assigned. No answer yet.
