January 2012 - Winnipeg Bisons
Manager and GM Fritsche
1st January 2012
Full of passion I start my first year on the helm of the Winnipeg Bisons. The time at Milwaukee was great, but somehow I felt my work was not appreciated enough by some people in the club. Of course it will be interesting to play the Brewers many times each season as we also play in the NL Central. There's no Prince Fielder or Ryan Braun in Winnipeg and we don't have half a dozen pitchers on the farm who could start tomorrow in the big leagues if needed; but I'm sure the city of Winnipeg is more than ready for professional sports again, more than a decade after the cult team Jets left town. Besides my personal rivalry with the Brewers, the Bisons regard Toronto and Vancouver as natural rivals. The move of the Blue Jays to the NL Central added some extra spice, while one of our goals for the first season is the finish with a better record than the Marmots.
