Montreal returns back to Major League Baseball
Being offered a chance to run my own team in the major leagues was not something I could ever give up. When baseball announced Montreal would be paired the Mexico City Monarchs to expand the league I was ecstatic.
Imagine my shock when I got the job as GM. One problem...they chose not do an expansion draft. I'm totally on my own in this case. Even worse, I only had about a week to throw together the opening lineup and I couldn't even fill a full roster. This is my Expos at present. I don't have a full roster even or a minor leagues. Now I just got told my owner wants a winning season. Yikes, it's going to be a long year. |

Game 1 is in the books
I have to say the team fought much harder than I thought was possible. Stephen Fife may be a bit of a find going 7 strong innings, allowing 2 earned runs and fanning 4
Defense killed them though as 3b Garin Cenchini contributed 3 errors (including 2 in back to back plays) that led to a lot of chances for the phillies. The wheels totally came off for closer Jason Motte in his second inning of relief, allowing back to back dongs to end the game. Expos lose 6 to 3 |

This Roster is a mess. Continuing to work
I knew if my job as a GM is to remain secure I have to improve.
Today I completed the waiver claims of RP Michael Ynoa who was immediately sent out to the bullpen. In addition I sent utility man Kelly Johnson to the Los Angeles Angels for minor league prospect Ramon Flores. We shall see where he fits in. |

All is not well.
We have struggled to a 2-10 record. I've been signing almost anyone with a pulse to try and stem the tide. Right now I've got Brett Lawrie pacing the team with 7 RBIS.

Interesting. I love doing expansion drafts, but never did this sort of thing. You'll at least get plenty of number one overall picks.
