Dean's Weekly Hot And Cold Hitters
A Blog By Dean
Another week down in baseball, and honestly, a completely new set of names are hitting my list. I don’t think I have had the same player on the list twice yet. Inevitably, that will change but players have been very streaky to start the season so far.
I tried to spread the love and hate around as much as possible and avoid focusing on the same teams.
People seem to enjoy these, and I have been getting a lot of messages about players. So I will keep doing them every week. Eventually, I will get cute and throw some pitchers in.
