Team owner Steve Lester's expectations for the team this year is that we make the playoffs (which, in this setting means winning the MGL and going to the WPK World Series), and that we upgrade at thirdbase (our hope is that given a full season with the club, Jared Stephenson will show the owner that he is in fact an upgrade from previous seasons).
Slightly more long-term expectations from the owner include a goal of increasing attendance to a specific level by 1970, a goal we took good strides towards during the 1968 season, and that we get a championship by 1970.
The team is in good economic condition entering the 1969 season and there is even some talk among Denver fans that management has been a bit too conservative in spending to develop a winning club. Others though accept the organization's explanation that we are building for a sustained future and focusing on developing young talent that we then hope to mostly keep intact for many years to come.
