West Coast Swing
Brave-O-Matic will be publishing sporadically if at all through this weekend, as 1) the games are on too late, and 2) I'm heading to the beach. Go Julio!

Blogs available to talented writers (baseball only) at At Home Plate!!!
Welcome. After surfing the Internet we at www.athomeplate.com have determined that you offer one of the finest blogs in baseball dealing with your favorite team. We believe we have an exciting new opportunity for you to reach a much greater audience with your writing, and we would therefore like to ask you if you would be interested in becoming part of the AHP team.
Here is what we propose. We would like to offer our readership the ability to read, daily, about all 30 teams in major league baseball. Currently we run topical pieces dealing with individual teams, specific players, historical comparisons, personal commentary and fantasy information. The one area that we feel needs addressing is our ability to offer our readers daily commentary on all teams. This is the reason we have chosen to contact you. We would like to know if you would like to have your blog carried by AHP so that your work can reach a greater audience as well as presenting us with extra content for our readers.
Here are some of the conditions of our proposal.
1- We will have only one blog per team. We would also be interested in blogs that deal with other baseball areas of interest as well (trades, business, marketing, union news, SABRmetrics, etc).
2- Blog availability is by invitation only with the goal of putting together an outstanding community of baseball writers (if you have a suggestion for another blog, please forward the info on to me).
3- Blogs may be inactive for no more than 10 days (unless approved by AHP editorial staff).
4- Blogs must contain writings of the blogger - all links and little commentary is not acceptable.
5- Blogs must be about baseball.
6- Blogs must not contain inappropriate material.
What’s in it for the bloggers you ask?
1- Access to AHP’s readership (which is outstanding and growing monthly).
2- A chance to cover your specific teams/areas of interest.
3- What we are proposing is FREE to you. All we ask is that you meet the minimum conditions of the agreement listed above, and we’ll take care of the rest.
4- We will offer help in editing material if asked.
5- Opportunities will be provided to write articles for AHP in areas dealing with subjects other than what you write about in your blog.
6- And there is always the chance that this opportunity might allow you to make a few bucks. In fact, we are offering 50% of any money brought in by advertiser who you bring to AHP (so long as you are a current blogger with AHP).
7- Also, YOU MAINTAIN CONTROL OF YOUR BLOG. If at any point you would wish to severe your connection with AHP you will be allowed to retain your blog address for your own use.
As for the actual writing process itself, ideally our Bloggers would, in addition to their daily blogging
work, submit 1-2 team reports per month for use on the main website. This listing of your blog on the main page of the site will most assuredly allow more people to read the excellent work that you are currently doing. In addition to this, writers for the site will be encouraged to link to any topical information that you might have listed on your blog if they are working on a story dealing with your area of interest.
In the end, we look forward to the opportunity to work with you in the future. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me so that I can respond to your concerns.

This reads like spam, but in case Mr. Flowers is reading this, I'm not interested in selling ads for At Home Plate.
