The Westwood Baseball League just finished its first season in which the Anaheim Angels won the World Series and the great Steve York turned around the Minnesota Twins again. The league is preparing to enter the off-season and we need gm's. We lost several managers due to people going off to school and others for personal reasons. The league is a real league with many teams open. The core group of gm's has been around for over a year dating back to WBL version 1.
Teams open:
Baltimore 78-84 year one 3rd place 10 games back, no major changes to this team.
Toronto 70-92 5th place in division.
Kansas City: 65-97 The Royals your used to loving, not many changes, maybe the reason they won 65 games. Did not have a true gm year one, want a challenge....here's your team.
Oakland: 77-85 Mike Lowell, Carlos Delgado were added to the A's for Barry Zito and Jason Kendall during season one.
Arizona: 63-99 a lot of the original roster is left on this team. Played in a very tough division first year.
San Diego 92-70 put the Padres in second place six games behind the Rockies. The Friars lost a lot of players to free ageny and can go wherever the GM wants to take them.
Cubs: NL Champions; Prior, Zambrano, Wood, Jerome Williams...
Reds: 82-80 a young team with a payroll of 21 million dollars. Interesting mix...
Astros:54-108, the leagues cellar floor was the Astros. $37 million payroll, Clemens is gone but a team looking for help.
Brewers 72-90 4 position players remain on active roster, free agency will be key for this team. Lots of minor league talent.
Mets: 91-71, high payroll...A-Rod, Matsui, Beltran, Oswalt and Pedro
Braves: 69-93, this Brave team did not win the division and were not really that close to be honest. Come and help them out now.
