FutureSox is "Hiring" (sorry, no money)

Looking at prospect sites for other teams, FutureSox stacks up pretty darn well. We do more interviews than anyone as far as I can tell, do some great analysis, do in-person views, rankings, news, and will soon have a video channel of our exclusive content. Our twitter (@FutureSox) is pretty active. We have a Facebook page.

But one thing most of the other sites do, that FS doesn't, is daily recaps of the games played during the season. We do tweets with a couple bits from each game, but no article. We'd like to change this.

FutureSox has 4 writers on staff right now, with only 2 doing most of the writing. All the writers have a lot on their plates, and we just don't have the time to do these every day along with everything else. So we are looking for volunteers to take on the job of writing a recap after each day's slate of games.

This could be one person doing it every day, or a few people splitting days. The core writers can pitch in to help. And if you do well with the recaps, there is the opportunity to join the feature writing team in the future.

The recaps would just be a blurb for each game, in a format something like this:

Knights 6, Tides 4 (hyperlink to box score)

 

Phegley 2-4, 2B, K

Mitchell 1-5, 2 K, SB, CS

Scrub 3-4, 3B

Axelrod 6 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K

Goldberg 1 IP, 2 K

 

A couple sentences about anything significant, trends, etc. Mitchell hitting .150 in his last 10. Axelrod reported to hit 92 on the gun by @ProspectDude. Scrub suffered a gruesome pinky injury. That sort of thing.

The blurb repeats for each game, and that's basically the whole article. You can add a link to the FS article on SoxTalk in the daily games thread too.

It wouldn't take long to write, just a few minutes for each blurb. You'd have access to the FS back end to do the writing at your leisure.

If anyone is interested in doing this for 2014, either on some days or all, please send me a direct message on SoxTalk. Or email FutureSox (futuresox@gmail.com) and identify who you are on here, if you are a registered user.

Thanks!
