Not that I haven't been adding much to this fantastic site in the last few months.but, sadly, this is going to have to be my last post. I've taken a position with an AL team so no more blogging for me. I am confident that this will continue to be the best site for Brewers coverage on the web and KL in particular is doing some wondering things here. I will be looking in from time to time though so keep up the good work!

It's the Royals, isn't it
You’ve left us for the Royals.

Good luck Dixie
if you are going to the Yanks please convince them to give us better prospects for Cameron.

Good luck
I hope whatever team you’re with (it’s Seattle, isn’t it? They couldn’t resist taking something else from us, could they?) puts your talents to good use.

Hey, if it's the Angels
Can I get some free swag?
Seriously, though, I loved your pitch analysis. Best of luck.

Congrats on the New Position
I’m going to miss your pitch f/x work and analysis.
Best of Luck

Do we not get to know which team you're going to?
Either way, you will be missed.

I am supposed to keep it a bit of a low profile right now

This isn't a trick where AL actually stands for Appalachian League, is it?

Hey, at least someone we know is getting a job!
Congratulations, and you’ll certainly be missed. If they ever let you blog again, even if it isn’t about baseball, let us know where you’ve gone….

Congrats!
Josh I’ve always loved your articles. Since your one of my favorite PitchFX Writers, any suggestions on who would be a comparable replacement for the likes of you?
Good luck Josh, does your contract prevent you from any commenting?

The Hardballtimes is bringing in a guy from BtB to directly replace me and he does PITCHf/x
My last article will run Tuesday. If you haven’t checked John Walsh I would recommend him though only about half of his articles are PITCHf/x.

YOU did some wonderful things here
Congrats and best wishes

Your new team’s gain is everyone else’s loss.
I always believed that BCB had the highest quality contributions of any single-team site on the internet. Your hire does nothing to dispel that perception. Good luck.

Congratulations and good luck
I wish I had the patience and/or ability to organize even small pitch f/x queries, so I’m glad that there are tools like yours and others that give us some ability to look at pitch f/x data.

Congrats man!
So did you apply for an opening, or are there baseball front office folks scouring the internets for guys doing cool things with data?

Thanks again everyone
It really was a whirlwind starting out by posting things here, then my blog, then hardballtimes and now this in less than two years. If you put your mind to it and put out useful information regularly people will notice.

That's right!
If you put your mind to it and put out useful information regularly people will notice.
It only took a couple years, but Yost is finally gone! Oh, wait….you were talking about you?
Congrats, dixie. MLB needs more guys like you helping them to make better use of the information available to them.
