Owner Mike McIntosh decided to give me some more concrete goals. They are:

Achieve a Winning Record this season
Improve your team Stolen Bases this season
Acquire a Hometown player
Keep building your team up, in order to reach the playoffs in the next 6 seasons

Hmmmm.... I hope to make the playoffs sooner than that...

The one I really have a problem with is the stolen bases one. My stolen bases are low because it isn't a priority for winning games.

Maybe that 'Howetown player' can be a speed demon...

Arturo Aguirre's hand is broken. He will be out for 2-3 months.

Ryan Tillis is called up.

rpriske · 04-03-2015, 11:02 PM

TRADE

To AMERICANS

Joe Parker
John Hopkins
Frank Schulte
Martin Jennings
Frank Roth

To SUPERBAS

Kyle Anderson
Alfredo Suarez
Jose Turbides

With the injury to Aguire, we could use some shoring up at second, and the owner will be happy as Anderson is a Brooklyn boy, as well as being a defensive wizard.

Frank Shugart was sent to AAA and Ken Turner was called up. Turner is joining the bullpen.
