- Exceptional knowledge of all 30 MLB teams, no discernible bias. Knowledge of hot stove concepts such as arbitration and free agent compensation.
- Availability to regularly work Saturday nights from 5pm til 11pm or midnight central time. This availability is required every week.
- Writing experience is necessary and online writing experience is preferred.
- Journalistic experience writing and reporting is also a plus.
- Attention to detail and ability to follow the MLBTR style and tone.
- Ability to analyze articles and craft intelligent, well-written posts summing up the news concisely.
- Ability to accept and learn from constructive criticism. In general, a team player.
- Ability to use Twitter and an RSS feed reader. You must be able to multi-task.
- If you're interested, email mlbtrhelp@gmail.com and explain how you stand out in a couple of short paragraphs. Hundreds may apply, so we will not be able to respond to most applications.
