This is a real opportunity for a journalist. I know and deal with Paul regularly from here in Lakeland. I would be happy to supply whoever gets this job, exclusive photos for the story at no charge.. I know the person that writes for the Whitecaps submission to Tigstown and she loves the work. Tigstown is a division of Scout.com, so other team opportunities in the area also exist.
I found that my contact with the Whitecaps is primarily doing the photos only...so I apologize to the recap/interviewer if they read this thread,

I think Paul selected someone for the Lakeland slot today....along with the other three teams.

I wonder if they would be interested in away games write ups.. if they come over to play the Jays, Yankees, and Threshers.. just a thought

Actually, the person selected for the job has to write the away game write up from the box score.
