Baseball Prospectus’s local sites work as small standalone sites. The editors are given a small budget and can distribute it to writers as they see fit; most writers work for free or for up to about $100 per month. The business is mostly run on passion and intellect, which I thought offered a pretty simple explanation for how Ryan passed through without much notice: He must have been writing for free. One source, however, said Ryan was a paid contributor to BP, which raises a question: What did Becca Schultz do with the checks made out to a fraudulent name? Are those checks just sitting in a drawer somewhere uncashed?


Paying writers $0-$25 a week, with no background checking to the point where they don't even know if the writer is telling the truth about themselves and that is on purpose so people can hide who they are.

The next time someone posts something that uses BP as a source I will certainly take it seriously and not think that it may just be some random person on the internet pretending to be an expert while they get enough money to afford 5 lattes a week if they are lucky!

You said 5 lattes a week when they can actually afford 4 lattes.

This is just salt on the wound for poor Scott in Davenport. Then again I wouldn't be surprised if Becca was a better writer and analyst than him.
