My Favorite Writer: Mark Brown

     

    One of the biggest things that draws me to a writer is whether or not I am interested in what they have to say. Granted, this being a sports blog, I'm sure you can tell what Mark Brown may be all about. Mark Brown writes for "Camden Chat", a Baltimore Orioles community news website. Camden Chat publishes many great works about the Orioles and keeps you up to date with everything you need to know to stay in the loop. 

    Brown is one of the primary writers for Camden Chat. One of the things that I enjoy most about his writings is how he breaks down what needs to be broken down, but does not go too in-depth about things that do not matter. It helps every Baltimore fan keep track of who might be on the IL list, who might be starting, and who they think should be starting. This whole community website is opinion-oriented and has many different threads. 

    One of my favorite threads posted by Brown are the "Daily Bird Droppings". Each day, Brown publishes a recap of what is going on in not only in Baltimore, but the entire baseball world. It is easy for me to be able to read these posts and get a good idea of exactly what is going on for Baltimore. I like that Brown is able to save me the time and research and simply give me all of the important points in one place. 

    The most recent piece by Brown is titled "Current Baltimore Orioles roster". The description under this peice says "Orioles players on the 40-man roster and their number of remaining minor league options". This subtitle gets straight to the point by using a summary lead. It makes it easy for individuals to know exactly what they will be getting in the post. If he did not include this, people may wonder why he is discussing minor league options that have nothing to do with their 40-man roster. 

    Brown's writing then goes into all of the transactions that the Orioles have made during the off-season. This makes it easy for fans to know exactly where these players came from, as well as who they had to give up in order to attain them. Personally, I have the MLB app notifications on, but there are so many sent out that it is nearly impossible to check every single one so when I want to know about my favorite team, this is where I go and I like how easy Brown makes it to stay updated.
