Today marks an exciting day for us here at Radio Scouts, as we usher in a brand-spanking-new blog to the Toronto Blue Jays online blog collective. It's an almost-surreal feeling that launch day has arrived – we finally made it.
Welcome to our humble abode; please help yourselves to the figurative cheddar cheese cubes and saltine crackers, heavily-spiked punch, and plethora of high fives. We're tremendously excited that our readers could share this moment with us, though we're trying really hard to play it cool.
The idea to publish a blog was brought up a few very short months ago, not long after the Radio Scouts Podcast idea was initially welcomed into the world as a sweet and innocent eight-pound-five-ounce baby. It was when it became truly apparent the podcast was going to be a deeply-engrained part of our lives going forward that we realized we'd need a hub and, as a direct result, the blog idea really picked up steam. Because we were already going to launch a website for the podcast, would it not make sense to put our utterly brilliant and original thoughts to fingers and keyboard? We certainly thought so.
It gives me great pleasure to be the one to announce that we've assembled an unpaid staff of talented writers to join the podcast team you've come to love and loathe over the past few months. Each writer is passionate (read: obsessed) about baseball, possesses their own unique style of prose, and brings varying strengths to Radio Scouts, rendering us a well-rounded team comprised of knowledgeable, hardcore baseball fans. We want to share this passion with the Blue Jays’ online community.
As for exactly what this blog will be, that remains somewhat unclear at this time. Our course will be charted largely by our diverse team of writers, who will be encouraged to go where their individual interests take them. We will refrain from framing this blog as a strictly baseball news outlet; a fantasy baseball haven; a prospects porn hub; a purely analytical, stats-driven blog; or any other one niche with severe limitations. We may even, on rare occasions, present a smattering of articles relating to non-Blue Jays newsworthy items from around the major and minor leagues.
Let’s now talk about what we know this blog will be. Our first and foremost priority is quality baseball content that will focus almost-exclusively on Blue Jays-related topics. Our articles will certainly incorporate all of the aforementioned niches to varying degrees.
That’s why you have chosen to join us here at Radio Scouts and that’s what we will endeavour to deliver to our readers on a consistent basis. We welcome one and all to become a member of the site and join our baseball community here at Radio Scouts – it’s free to do so.
This inaugural piece hereby marks the first of what will, hopefully, be many subsequent Radio Scouts articles going forward.
