I'm starting off my career in this world at the high school level with the Missouri Ozarks. The athletic director expects me to go .500, but I don't know if it's doable. We have some good contact hitters on the team and some speed, but we have no power (even compared to other HS teams) and our starting pitching is quite weak. We're 4-6, and it might be a long season.

There are a couple of guys on our team with MLB potential, one a pretty good defensive catcher with decent offensive skills and the other a speedy center fielder with a lot of potential but a long ways to go. Both are seniors this year. It will be interesting to see how they turn out. Maybe I'll coach 'em in the bigs some day?
