You writing is polished, but overall I find you information to be no better than statistics you can pull off any stat sheet on MLB.com or NFL.com. I think overall you really don't have a good understanding of the game other than that of an avid fan. You don't explain why things are, just that that is what they are. You are too limited in with your perspectives you probably should take out your New England bias when writing. If I was to grade you as a writer, I'd probably say a B student in college, however if I was to categorize you as a sports fan, I would give you an A, you can tell you really like sports. However if I was to categorize you as a sports writer, I'd probably give you a D, I appreciate the effort, but really you seem like the kind of writer who spends his day sitting on their couch in college, doing not much. For example in your latest article about lead off hitters, I probably found 9 guys who have lead off in their careers, but this year will not be in the lead off spot. There are so many holes overall it kinda gave me a headache. I can assume you are the kind of person if I met in pubic I would want to slap, because you assume you know a lot about sports, but overall your knowledge is based on what is portrayed in the media. Again, I appreciate the effort, but think that you are much more a fan, than anything that has to do with being a sports writer. Good effort though, but you fall short when it comes to knowing sports
