COACHES & SCOUTS
Game Date: Monday, October 30, 2000
I successfully signed
Stan Johnson (Majors 7 / Minors 10 / International 7 / Amateurs 9 / Favor Ability) to be my new scouting director. The other vacant minor league staff positions were each filled as well, so we now have a full complement of managers, coaches and other staff.
My plan is to spend the first weeks of November evaluating our internal talent and exploring ways to dump salary. With $15 million in debt, our offseason focus will be to get younger and cheaper and hopefully more talented at the same time.
The update formats I used in previous dynasties won't work for OOTP9's dynamic offseason, so as I do my organization's position-by-position reports, I'll also be writing about significant league news, primarily free agent signings and trades.
