I'm getting awfully frustrated with ESPN.com's baseball coverage. A year or so ago, they moved Rob Neyer from the free section to the Insider part which I'm just not going to pay for. Then they moved Buster Olney, Tim Kurkijan, their fantasy section, their rumor central, Jason Stark, Jerry Crasnick (?), Steve Phillips, Eric Karabell, Gary Gillette (?), Joe Morgan, John Kruk, and even the Elias stat report. All are now behind the green curtain, trying to get us to pay for the coverage. The only free columns left are Eric Neel and Jim Caple, two of their weakest writers. Other than to check game scores, recaps, and stats - which you can very easily get from any of a dozen other webpages, there is no reson to go to ESPN's baseball page at all. The football and basketball pages are certainly going to be next in ESPN's rush to turn the website into a cash cow. Enjoy it while you can, folks, because I'm checking in less and less.ESPN radio - still quality. ESPN the tv network - dunno, don't have cable.
