Erik Manning Joins the BtB Team

Please help me to welcome Erik Manning to Beyond the Box Score.  You might know him from places like Future Redbirds, Viva El Birdos, and Play a Hard Nine.  I'm personally a big fan of how Erik writes using sabermetrics and not necessarily about sabermetrics.  He's also a big farm system guy, a topic of discussion we could use more of here at BtB.  Look for a couple posts a week from Erik, at least until we can convince him it's worth posting more often in exchange for an office with a window.

Good to see you on another one of my favorite sites. Can’t wait to see more of your stuff.

You mean a basement with a window?

Welcome aboard Erik!

I’m just surprised a Cardinals fan can form coherent sentences and use a computer.

there are quite a few of us who can use a computer

but we get a bad rap as it pertains to coherency. For example, the stltoday.com forums.

I am a fab of Erik’s writing at VEB but more so at futureredbirds.net.

use of the word fab here, Flim

doesn’t do much to counter xanthan’s statement above, does it?

Congrats, erik! They made a terrific choice.

Congratulations, Erik!

I’d say more, but am having trouble finding the letters on this typing thingy.
