Hopefully you've noticed a new daily feature around here --the Daily Box Score. Tommy Bennet started rounding up saber-slanted links on Monday and it's been full steam ahead ever since. Since the goal is to provide a service for readers, we'd love to hear your feedback on the column so far.
Are there enough links? Too many links?
Is there enough commentary? Too much commentary?
Are we covering a wide enough range of articles? Wide enough range of teams? Too wide?
Is there a certain subsection of saber-slanted content we should pay more attention to?
Do you like the publish time of about noon eastern time?
Any other suggestions?

My major complaint is that it pushes other articles off the main page
There are some times when it seems that articles get pushed off the front page within a day or two and thus don’t seem to receive many comments. Not sure how that can be remedied but I personally prefer coming here for analysis.

Thanks for the input. I'll keep that in mind. FYI...
We’re making it a goal to present less of each article on the front page, so it’s quicker to scroll to older content. And I hear there will be links (headlines only) to older content below the last “full” article on the front page in a bit.

Yeah. Just think it needs to have more below the jump.
And more links to my stuff. That too.

I love it and wouldn't change a thing.
Probably helps a little that it linked to my post today, though =)

I wish the article breaks were done differently
They make the whole thing look very cluttered

The horizontal lines?
I agree. Right now it’s just the [hr /] tag. There is surely a better way, and I’ll think about it.

It would make the whole thing a lot longer, but you might want to break up each mini-article into paragraphs
I’ll be honest and say I tend to skip past them pretty quickly because of how dense the words are. On screen you don’t want a block of text much longer than two or three lines.
Of course that may push some content after the jump, but that might be ok.
