ESPN Has Three Finalists to Replace Rob Neyer
All, ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings February 5th. 2011, 12:30pm
ESPN is moving swiftly to replace baseball writer Rob Neyer, and I’m hearing there are already three finalists: Joe Sheehan (who writes for SI), Craig Calcaterra (of Hardball Talk), and Jonah Keri. I’m hearing conflicting rumors of ESPN’s Eric Karabell being in the mix. Supposedly, David Kull is the editor at ESPN who is making the hire.

Can’t say good or bad about the other candidates, but I would be happy if it was Jonah Keri. I sense actual enthusiasm for baseball in his writing rather than rote VORPy smarminess.
February 5th, 2011 at 12:39 PM
I hope it’s Calcaterra. He’s one of the best baseball writers out there, IMO.

Bissenger is on a marathon twitter binge this morning. Enjoyable.
February 5th, 2011 at 12:42 PM
Can some one Jmorris me on this?
February 5th, 2011 at 12:45 PM
I’m with the professor. Calcaterra was great at THT, I don’t really read Hardball Talk
February 5th, 2011 at 12:46 PM
Never Heard of Them, JHS.
February 5th, 2011 at 12:57 PM
I know of Sheehan and Calcaterra, don’t remember ever hearing/reading Keri.
February 5th, 2011 at 1:01 PM
@Chief: Here’s Keri’s “about” page on his website.
February 5th, 2011 at 1:08 PM
All three of those would be excellent choices, imo
February 5th, 2011 at 2:30 PM
I love Jonah Keri. Great writer. Accessible. Smart. He would be a wonderful choice.
February 5th, 2011 at 3:38 PM
love jonah.
keep him away from espn.

If Jonah gets the spot, sweetspot goes back in favorites.
