New LD column to save journalism, disparage Kyle Farnsworth

If you’re one of the six people who visit here on a semi-occasional basis, chances are you’ll convulse with whimsy and delight upon hearing the following announcement: My editors at CBS have finally bent beneath the weight of my blackmail and granted me a few extra column inches every week. Hence I’m happy to introduce you to the CBS Sports.com Player Rankings, which will appear alongside the Power Rankings every Tuesday for the rest of the season. In related news, please don’t call me on Monday.

Feel free to share ideas (no “best baseball mustaches,” please) for future Player Ranking lists. Best closers, best left-handed hitters, etc. Thanks and enjoy.
