I was given another 1 out 100 score, my 4th in a row. It looks like I have not had much success so far in my journey with a career managerial record of 374-470, a .443 winning percentage.
Team batting ended at 9th in the league with a .248 average. Stan Johnstone lead the team with a .274 average, 20 HRs, and 65 RBI.
Team pitching ended up 10th in the league with a 4.75 ERA. The bullpen really let me down with a 5.03 ERA, worst in the league.
The big news is the hiring of new coaches. I was able to sign a couple of top-notch coaches who I think will help me get out of the basement. Pitching coach Matt Ryan has 17 years of experience and is rated Excellent for pitchers as well as Outstanding for how he handles rookies and veterans.
My new revised goal is to be in the big leagues for the 1989 season.

Big leagues in 1989? From AA at the end of 1986, with a terrible record? Sorry, but that's probably wishful thinking.
I am in my fourth year as a minor league manager. Started out in Rookie league. Went to Low-A. Single-A. Skipped AA (was promoted during the playoffs! and won it as the manager. Givena 100/100 score for both Low-A and AA in the same year! lol.)
Now, I am in my second year of AAA, with an incredible record of 98-42, last season, 78-33 this year so far. Combined total of 176-75.
You only have two seasons to work with now, trying to get up there from AA after the 1987 season. Which means you better do incredible in '87, and go practically undefeated in AAA in 1988. Probably should win the championship in both leagues as well.
