The downside there is that the commenters are mouthbreathers. So you can also check Baseball Think Factory for (mostly) high-level banter among (mostly) informed commenters about current stories. So that keeps you up to date with everything going on in MLB on a day to day basis, and both of those sites have a pretty strong advanced statistical leaning in most of their statistical analysis.<br /><br />For good solid long term/high level analysis, I have had good luck with SBNation. Their generic MLB-wide page is excellent and has a lot of good analysis. Your mileage may vary as far as the utility presented by your favorite team's SBNation site (mine has excellent authors/contributors/editors and moronic commenters, so I usually skip the comments). They also have a site called Beyond the Box Score that is all about SABR thinking and analysis which is really good.
