Looking For Baseball Writers
As you may recall, I'm heading to Cincinnati for the weekend. I didn't think the games would mean much when I bought the tickets, but now they're looking pretty important for my Cubbies.
Anyway, I like to keep MLBTR going strong even when I'm away. And I'm not one to blog on the road. So, I'm looking for someone willing to step in and write for the site when I'm gone. For now I'm looking for coverage on September 28th, 29th, and 30th (probably from a single person). It would be five or more posts per day, three of them coming before noon each day. Within that any major rumor would have to be covered, and if they are slow days you'd have some liberties to choose articles or topics to write about. Each post should be in the typical 3-5 paragraph MLBTR style. For this particular three-day stint I'm offering $50.
Some things I'm looking for:
- In college or college graduate
- Blogging experience a plus
- Frequent MLBTR commenter a plus
- Strong writing skills (grammar and spelling are important)
- Non-biased approach to posts
- Strong baseball knowledge
- Style similar to the one MLBTR currently uses
- Availability on all three days
- Ideally it would be a person who already devours every baseball story possible throughout the day, so that important breaking rumor-related stuff could be posted in a timely manner
If you're interested in the coverage this weekend and perhaps future days, please drop me a line at mlbtraderumors@gmail.com explaining why you'd be good for it. Thanks.

This sounds like its interesting but I won't be able to do it this weekend. However, in the future I wouldn't mind contributing. I work at the Rogers Centre for the Jays but still have some insidey sources I talk to and I have a college degree and fit all those descriptions you have about baseball. However, this is the final homestand and I will be out literally all weekend. Hopefully you find someone...

Im down to do it if you'd like. I have exams all week ending Friday morning, so it would actually work well for me as I don't have anything to do all weekend except get drunk and root for the Gators. Im currently a college grad student at University of Florida. Let me know if you would like me to email you with more information and qualifications.

$50 for 3 days? the Adds must be treating Tim pretty good.

Tim- dont forget to head to "The Factory" bar in Cincy after the game. Sean Marshall and Rich Hill will be there for sure.

Mike Winters has been suspended! Good riddance to that
Posted by: WestCoastBias | September 26, 2007 at 02:58 PM
I have no beef with the Winters suspension. He shouldn't bait players, of course.
But Bradley's teammates should be furious with him, because he chose his pride over the team and the playoffs.

"But Bradley's teammates should be furious with him, because he chose his pride over the team and the playoffs."
Tim, based off Miltons history I imagine most of his teammates expect something like this to happen before too long.
It is fitting that it could cost him a year of play though; he could be suffering huge consequences that he might actually acknowledge for a change. One would think being kicked off 4 teams would get the guy’s attention but it obviously hasn’t so maybe costing himself his big FA year will do it…

I'd do it but I'm working two of the three days. And for more than $50. :P
