Bless You Boys Podcast Episode 11: Conversation with R.J. Anderson

R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports joins the podcast for a wide ranging conversation about the state of baseball, the Tigers outlook and the future of smart baseball. In its course, we agree that you can’t be an ace without throwing 200 innings. We’ll probably have to give in on that opinion in the years to come, and that hurts me.

Anderson has been writing about baseball since he was 16 year old. He’s written for ESPN, Newsweek, as well as stints at DRaysBay, FanGraphs and Baseball Prospectus. He co-hosts the excellent DFA Podcast. You can follow him on Twitter @r_j_anderson.
