    It needs to be at least loosely connected to the team in question. Like if the Brewers need a starter and it’s rumored the Marlins are shopping a starter, that’s a rumor worth posting. But if some random team is shopping a shortstop, that’s not something you post here on TD. The Twins are definitely not looking for a shortstop. Some general knowledge of various teams and judgment calls are required.

    We're looking for a couple of people to help us out with the rumors section. I didn't expect to request this for a few more weeks but given the Marlins' recent behavior, I should probably get moving on this. This would be for the Cubs, Brewers, and Twins sites. It's a paid role based on number of posts. Basically, all we need is for people to keep an eye on Twitter and places like MLBTR and scour for rumors about baseball. Here is an example. When you spot a rumor, it's 5-10 minutes of writing and you're on your way.

    We're gonna win, Twins...

    I lived there for a decade and still have a bunch of friends there and visit regularly. It's still a great place. Bloody expensive, but great.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, San Diego is a notoriously awful place.

    Man, I want to watch the Twins try to increase the streak but also, the Cubs and Brewers are playing at the same time. I'll probably end up flipping back and forth a lot.

    To be clear, I'm listening to all the site suggestions and making mental notes of them, I'm just not super-involved in the TD front page. That's mostly the arena of the other four owners, my role is different. I keep an eye on the community and plan and execute new features, like The Players Project.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Honestly, no they do not have one of the best front offices. The Twins front office is above average but no better than that. They're good at their jobs but not one of the best.

    Paddack looking damned good for a guy we thought might be injured in our internal slack channel.

    The need for more detailed editing and working with writers is largely why we hired our first full-timer, Matt Trueblood. He's been working with the younger writers quite a bit and hopefully, article quality has improved as a result. Matt does a killer job.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Those names.

    One of Stu's best pieces in awhile because it's so ****ing accurate.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    There is little danger of that happening, as our relationship with the team is quite volatile. Some of the owners have a decent relationship with them, others have little interest in having a relationship with them.

    While this thread is about the forums, I'd like to address this point for a moment. We're not rushing for content, we're trying to give as many aspiring authors a voice as we can. And that's going to be a bumpy ride at times as writers of varying knowledge and ability levels try their hand at the craft. A few years ago, we decided on this path forward, knowing that it'd be impossible to read ALL the articles. Hell, I don't even know if I read half of them. Find your favorite authors on the site and give them a follow. If you aren't interested in reading everything we publish (and seriously, why take that burden upon yourself), curate the site to your liking using the available tools!

    Ineffectiveness, I think. He had an interesting run for a season or so where he would show promise, then bottom out. I vaguely recall that at some point, he stopped showing promise and only bottomed out.

    An alternative to how we currently manage game threads is how we do it at North Side Baseball. There is a list of people who sign up to be game thread starters. When we reach the end of the list, it rolls back to the first person on the list and starts over. Obviously, the bigger the list of candidates, the less burdensome it is on each participant. In the case of the Cubs, one person creates every game thread until the team loses. Then it moves to the next on the list. That creates a fun environment where game thread starters get to claim a winning streak. Just an option if people are interested in such a thing.

    That's kind of what I thought but it's important to ask every once in awhile.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    How do people feel about threaded conversations (Facebook, Twitter) versus chronological posts (what we have now).
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    How is this as a reaction option? (not serious) (mostly)
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I actually organized both of these things returning to the front page of the site on weekends. I hope to expand it over time.

    I'm not really targeting this conversation about anything specific, I just want to get a read on what people think about the state of the forums and where they would like to see improvement. This could be technical in nature but mostly, I'm curious what people think of the tone, the conversations, and the general demeanor of the community. If you have gripes or compliments or whatever, share them here. I haven't been very active lately (on any of the sites, frankly) and like to check in periodically to gauge how things are going. As always, if you are not comfortable sharing something publicly, I'm always available via PM.

    I'm already over hearing about the sausage... unless the Twins go on a losing streak and someone breaks the streak by eating the sausage. That's entertainment I can get behind.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Back to the White Sox again, who somehow managed to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays while the Twins were beating up on the Angels.

    Wow. This team is just awful.
