If they do, I will most likely write about it here!

I am especially interested in how the age old blogging situation evolves. I have a dilemma with traditional media outlets syndicating blogger content. The good: exposure. The bad: MLB does not recognize bloggers but instead, the outlet. Like you point out, they conservative nature of the organization may make it more difficult for them in evolve in that area. I still love baseball and I respect their decision but will be keeping a watchful eye on this particular topic.
