1. What is your preferred team?
   I would like to GM the Toronto Blue Jays.
2. Why do you want to play using this team?
   My favorite team is the Red Sox, so I know the AL East division very well, would love a shot at building a team that can contend with powerhouse teams like the Yankees and Sox. If I can't join my favorite team, then I'll have to beat them!
3. What are your plans for the team/franchise, and how do you plan to achieve those goals?
   I would obviously have to study the Blue Jays depth charts and minor leauge prospects before I can give a detailed answer to this question, but in general I will do my best to take the team to the playoffs each year. Weather by trades or giving younger prospects a chance to perform.. Eventually I will take the AL East.
4. What is your prior OOTP or baseball experience?
   In terms of OOTP experience, not very much unfortunatly. I only just came across the game a couple months ago, but from the moment I got the game I was hooked. I love how in depth everything is, I felt and still feel like a kid in a candy store when playing. I love baseball, have all my life. I might not be as stat knowledgeable as other hardcore fans, and I don't claim to be, but I enjoy pretending to be! Which is why this game is so fun for me, I like to imagine that I am thrown into being a real GM, and must do what I have to do to run the team. Although playing solo is fun, I feel like I need to play in a leauge of other user controlled teams, there is only so much emotion you can get from beating a computer.
5. Why would you be a positive addition to the immersion and atmosphere of the JLB?
   Though I am a newbie of sorts to OOTP, I have played many many hours already and have a good feel to how to run a team. I have a great imagination and like to really immerse myself in the experience. I am dying for a chance to interact with other GM's as a season progresses.
