New Featured Contributor
For those of you that are on the observant side, you’ve noticed that our last post here at Halo Hangout wasn’t written by me, but instead by a name you hadn’t seen before. Since I took over I’ve been looking for a couple people to join me here, and I’m pleased to say that Anuj Agarwal has decided to join me as a Featured Contributor. Anuj is less of a saber guy than I am (in truth, my offer of joining me here was extended to him precisely because of the heated debates we’d get in during this past off-season), and I thought it’d be nice to have a bit of a counter-point to my saber ways on the blog. Anuj will be giving us his views on the goings on in Angelworld a couple times a week, and I look forward to seeing what he’ll bring to Halo Hangout.
I’m also working on a couple other things with my fellow AL West bloggers here at FanSided as well, so keep an eye on Halo Hangout for new features as the season progresses!
