Guest wsc425 Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Phil Rodgers view on my Aaron Rowand story. Pretty good story. I'd give it a B+. The quick critique would be that the lead and the end of the story could have been a little punchier. But the transitions from one paragraph to another were good and the body of the story was fine. Send me your real address and I'll mail you a marked up copy of the story, if you would like. Regarding my day, there really isn't a typical one. It tends to be sporadic, very busy at times and not so busy at others. But there's always something to check between box scores and winter-time player moves, rumors, etc. It's 52 weeks a year baseball. Because I cover the major leagues, not just the Chicago teams, I keep a daily log in which I track all 30 teams. It's basic stuff -- like scores, record, place in the standings, performance of starting pitchers, saves, home runs, that kind of stuff. It takes me about an hour a day to enter that information in the log, which is extremely valuable because it forces me to pay attention to all the teams. I watch a lot of games on TV and at the ballpark and talk to players and executives with teams, as well as writers who cover those teams. Hope this helps a little.
