Love Minor League Baseball and talking about baseball’s top prospects? If so, Grading on the Curve wants you to write for us!
Grading on the Curve has held a steady place as FanSided’s home for minor league baseball and prospect coverage for some time now, dating back to when the site was first launched in early 2009. The top names have changed a lot in that time frame and our staff here on site has been here through it all. There’s a lot of history here, both with the prospects and with our efforts to write about them.
Despite the changes, there has always been one constant here on site with regards to our goals: to give you folks, our readers, the very best minor league discussion that we possibly can.
Consider yourself a passionate fan? Read us or other minor league sites with regularity and ever wonder if you should write about the team too? Maybe you’re just stumbling across us for the first time and you like what you see. We are looking to add to our staff here on site and this could be your chance to grab a bat and join the team.

We like to let our staff write about the aspects of the teams and players they are most passionate about. Maybe scouting is your department and you have the inside angle on an up and coming prospect on the rise. Maybe you’re a transaction junkie, and you like to break down recent trades and signings. Maybe you just love following certain leagues and teams. Wherever your interests lie, we have a home for you at Grading on the Curve.
Writers are asked to contribute a minimum of 1-2 posts per week. We’ll always welcome more frequent contributions than that, but we won’t require it.
We know that for most this is primarily a hobby and something you do for the love of it. That’s why we do it too. Most of us have families, full-time careers, and/or school to balance into our lives as well (there’s room for things besides baseball, right?). This is an opportunity to join a staff of writers here who are just simply passionate about prospects and want to continue to reach the rest of this great fan base.
Seeking a bigger opportunity?
Think the Staff Writer role isn’t quite enough of a challenge for you? Have enough passion about this team and think you can be a help in leading the site and further building this community? There is a unique opportunity for a motivated individual to join our team as a co-expert.
Such a role is going to be much more involved than what we lay out above, both in terms of overall expectations and the benefits you’ll see for said efforts. It can be a great opportunity for someone looking to establish their voice on a great platform covering this team year-round.
Want to join us?
Applying is very easy. Head on over and complete an application. It’ll give you a chance to share some insight into your background (prior online writing experience is not necessary but always encouraged) and let us know why you’d be a fit on site, so give it your best. We’ll be in touch from there.
