This is a great hire, IMO. I really like Curt. I think he'll do a great job.

 

"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

You mean there might be a reason to go back to the MJS website again? I haven't been there in years...

"Rock, sometime, when the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Uecker. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock but I'll know about it; and I'll be happy."

The jsonline website itself, since it has to follow the Gannett format, is...lacking, to put it as even-handedly as I can. Following Curt on Twitter (@CyrtHogg), if you roll that way, would be a good way to link to individual articles, and maybe less frustrating than browsing through jsonline dot com.

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

It seems like most of Tom's co-workers enjoyed him and I'm sure he is a good guy but unfortunately he really didn't have a good grasp on how to handle new age media, specifically Twitter, and in today's game you need to be able to maneuver Twitter if you are a beat writer. I think Curt will be amazing.

I never minded Tom, and overall I've always felt that McCalvy, Rosiak, Sammon, & Tom made a pretty good coverage team.  Haudricourt was entertaining from a Twitter snark perspective, I can get the in-depth news & analysis from the others.  Curt is a good hire, though.
