Congratulations to the World Champion Carolina Knights. There are at least a couple familiar names still on the roster:
The Expos were upset by the Cardinals in the Division Series, while the Knights knocked off the Cardinals in an exciting seven game series.
Meanwhile, I'll turn my attention to the offseason. We started off with some disappointing news when Scouting Director Scott Richmond announced his retirement. He's been with me for a while now, and it's hard for me to find a Scouting Director I trust. We'll begin looking for a replacement, but the list of candidates isn't top notch.
I received my updated owner goals, and he seems pretty hands off -
• Don't suck completely (2042)
• Upgrade centerfield (2043)
• Find a top prospect (2043)
• Build top 7 farm (2045)
• Improve draft record (2045)
• Reach the playoffs (2044)
I don't have a problem with any of the goals really, so that's a plus. We have about $30 million to spend in free agency this offseason. We'll use that to help fill our 24 holes. I expect a hectic offseason, and I don't think anybody is untouchable on this team. Despite being a team leader and having a decent season 3B Leon Martinez is going on the block. The thought of a poor fielding, speedy third baseman is just too much to wrap my head around.
Now it's time to get to work.
