The Great Lakes division is ripe for the taking... can the Badgers capitalize?
In what will hopefully be our final opening before our transition to OOTP 12, the PEBA is seeking candidates to take over as General Manager of the
Kalamazoo Badgers. This is a franchise that has been mired in mediocrity for a while now, but a window of opportunity is opening. The
Crystal Lake Sandgnats, long the dominant force in the Great Lakes Division, are beginning to show cracks in their iron wall of supremacy. Other Great Lakes teams like
Omaha,
Canton, and
Fargo are moving in to capitalize on this perceived weakness. The Badgers have the talent to do the same, but they'll need help in the form of strong leadership prepared to answer tough questions.
What kind of questions are we talking about? Well, for starters, is
Francisco Debesa for real? The longtime farmhand is enjoying a breakout season. A new GM will have to decide whether he merits a long-term contract or whether to go year by year during his arbitration years. Also, where does the team find some quality starting pitching? Rookies
Marcos González and
Luis Montoya can't do it all. How about former 1st rounder
Lorenzo "Big Cheese" Amador? Arguably the top catching prospect in baseball is beating up Hi-A pitching. Is it time to promote him, or should the team take drastic measures and trade him, trusting the more advanced
Stan Holmes instead?
As new Badgers GM, you'll be in charge of answering these and many more crucial questions. The path you take will determine if Kalamazoo is able to enter the conversation of Great Lakes contenders. So
get in touch with us today to get started on your path to glory! The PEBA will remain an OOTP 11 league for another two months, but you don't have to wait for our transition to get involved with
the best baseball community OOTP has to offer. Join up now and start plotting your course to the ultimate goal: the Planetary Extreme Championship!
