A mess.

I arrive in the offices and find the Black River Thunderclouds are a mess.
There are players getting horribly over paid to just sit on the reserve roster and not do anything. I get another heart attack when I see the list of contracts that the team is trying to extend. I cut out as much of the dead wood as I can early on.
First thing I do is look for some power and sign 1B Ken Seals to mash some home runs into the bleachers. He's never played above AA ball but my scouts rate him an 8 out of 10 for power.
When the "Show" free agents come out I am instantly on the phone trying to sign career bench players and minor leaguers to come to Jamaica and have a six month holiday before playing a lighter schedule.
I managed to grab a two time HS best hitter who had gone 4th overall in the 2015 draft for about 1.5 a year. Scouts rate him 7/7/8 and quick playing LF. I like this kid already.
I signed us Lance Clarke, a reliever with some hot stuff to fill out the bullpen. He's had a few cups of coffee in the majors but always jumped up and down. With his stuff he became our new closer.
Finally our scouts uncovered a stud reliever Yidraw Babechi who slotted into be our set up guy.
Now we wait the six months for the season to begin.
