May 27, 201411 yr FS regulars- We added a new feature to the blog this year - daily recaps of the day's minor league action. They seem to be a success, thanks to the writing of Brian and Rob (with some help from Dan, and occasionally myself). We really like having these. The bad news is, one of our writers needs to drop off, at least for a while, due to schedule conflicts. The good news is, we are now looking for volunteer(s) to to join the fun! If you are interested, even if just one or two posts a week, we'd love to discuss it with you. We have a pretty simple format to follow, and once you've done a few, you'll likely find it is only about 15-20 minutes' time to do one. You get to have your name out there, so if you have any interest in writing or blogging in the future, this is a great opportunity to get your feet wet on something relatively simple. You will have some leeway to write what you want, and it can be a lot of fun. If anyone is interested, send me a message on here, or email us at futuresox@gmail.com. Feel free to ask any questions as well!

Ha, don't make it sound like a real job. If it's not fun, don't do it. If someone thinks they would enjoy this, they can take a crack at it. If it sounds like a chore, don't do it. That simple.

Yes, about 20 minutes a pop. Do you like the idea of writing about baseball and getting your name out there, a couple times a week? Then join us! Sound like too much work? Then don't bother.

It's a fun way to stay on top of a blossoming minor league system. I'd say it takes me 20-30 minutes to do and it's only a chore when our prospects don't do well
