I got to meet sportswriter Christina Kahrl this week as she was in town for the All-Star Game. She's a lovely woman, soft-spoken with a mind wrapped around baseball. Her presence dominates a room when she walks in. Her knowledge of baseball is incredible, and it was enlightening to talk with her about George Steinbrenner and the trades that happened around the All-Star Game. It's easy to tell why she's been so successful with Baseball Prospectus.
She made an insightful observation about her impact on trans visibility in the sport. She said writers keep getting "stolen" from Baseball Prospectus by teams looking for good stats people; Former BP writers are now at various teams around the league.
