Basically I do whatever Brute throws at me. During the season on a regular basis I write weekly game recaps for the big club and twice weekly minor league notebook reports where we summarize the results of every game in the system with relevant box scores and blurbs. Whenever I am lucky enough to get an interview assignment I take them.

During the off-season I help with special projects such as our Top 50 prospect bonanza and I write up breaking news reports. I helped write up the draft notebooks for both days in June and worked with Brute and our other editor in a war-room type setup where we had rapid fire information coming at us. Looking up guys on Google, contacting college athletic departments to get in touch with draftees from the higher rounds, writing quick blurbs on our new guys, it was crazy but really fun.

I did playoff coverage for the Cal League and Northwest League Playoffs this season. I couldn't get to San Jose Muni for any postseason games but I stayed connected through the web radio broadcasts of the games, and I relied on MiLB.com for news about the SK Volcanoes.

Sometimes I go to minor league games to observe and write special pieces. Nick Pereira was our big guy last year on the site; I did an interview with him at San Jose and did a follow-up piece on him after he was promoted to Fresno. Just missed the chance to speak to him at the AAA game, but it was my first visit to the press box at a professional game so it was all good to me. :)

I have more freedom to write during the summer and winter breaks when I am not in school. The editors and I have an understanding and we work very well together. They've been awesome to me so I try to be awesome to them.

It's just so great to be doing this because I love it, and I'm good at it. It's great preparation for writing professionally and I will put this on my resume when I'm finished with college. It's win-win, baby.
