(Click for Analysis) Tribune Looking For Capable Writers As summer approaches, I look forward to getting up each morning and being able to leisurely read the sports page without having to wonder if I need to study for calculus or finish writing a term paper. For my MLIB friends out there, I want you to look forward to turning on your computer and checking out the MLIB web site. Many owners choose to simply run through their players' stats after the simming and before the simming for setting lineups (if that). I would like this to change. I have an idea that people would look on the site and see articles for key matchups of the week, rumor mills, and articles "written" by MLIB players. However, before this can happen, I need help. I would be looking for a few good beat writers. We have a great edit staff all we need is people with great ideas and get them on paper. The more people sign up or people are willing to write more than once a month, we could really have a blast with this. When I interviewed commissioner Mike Rogozynski he said, "That's a fabulous idea, I will support the idea 110% and I will personally make a commitment that any articles sent to me before 8pm every night will be posted that night ready for viewing the next morning. I will also make the commitment to being a member of the editorial staff. John's got a great idea let's carry this through, the owners and the league will be the benefactors." If there is any interest, email me or give me an instant message. Thanks and rock on. John Murphy-Editor MLIB Tribune Owners Speak Out! This is a little column where owners can have their say.
