Former Dodgers GM Paul Depodesta is now has his own blog for the public called It Might Be Dangerous.  Depodesta was GM of the Dodgers for the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Prior to that, he was an assistant with the A’s where he apprenticed under Billy Beane.  Currently, Depodesta is an advisor to the Padres. He is known for us use of sabermetrics and statistics to guide his decisions.

In his inaugural post he wrote:

So, I’m here, and I’d like to be a part of the conversation. I’ll do my best to reply to comments/questions, though I can’t promise punctual responses or regular posts. After all, just like everyone else out there, I already have a job.

I think its pretty cool that somebody like him is doing this.  Naturally, because he has a job and is associated with a team, he can’t spill industry secrets or the formula for a winning team (not like he ever found it) but he is already dropping nuggets of well-thought out analysis. He also has addressed questions he’s gotten from readers, which is pretty neat - knowing that he cares about what people are asking him and the fact that he’s taking time to answer questions.  This blog is a nice gesture on his part.

I’m a bit curious about the name though…
