Danny Knobler moves on
posted in 2008 season |The blogosphere is known for its attacks on the “main stream media.” And you know, sometimes columnists say the darndest things and deserve a bit of the medicine they offer teams. But I think most baseball bloggers out there would tell you how grateful they are for the beat writers who cover their team. A good beat writer can find new storylines, and gets player and management reaction to the questions the fans have about why a decision was made. They answer fans’ questions and share their own insights into the team. That’s a longwinded setup to say, Thanks Danny Knobler.
After 18 years covering the Tigers for Booth Newspapers (MLive), Knobler recently covered his last game as a Tigers beat writer. He will now be a national baseball writer for cbs.sportsline.com. Knobler’s making a wise move going from print to digital, I’m sure. And I’ve always thought he had a tough job, as those folks at MLive message boards can be pretty, er, silly at times. I’ve enjoyed his writing and timely updates, and linked to them quite a bit. I look forward to seeing what he has to say about the Tigers and wish him luck in the new endeavor.
