Hilton Selects member of legendary ULB family to control Chicago’s Team Operations.

I made it. I’ve done it. This has always been my dream, and now I’m finally here. Looks like I have some work to do!

First of all, I believe that the group and philosophy of the team’s staff needs to be rethought. Our current manager is Wilson Molina. He has a few years with the team and likes playing prospects, but I feel his system of slow hooks with relief pitchers won’t fit with our teams in the future, and I’d like someone with a lot more experience. The top candidate for the job is former Liberty manager Manuel Castro. He has an excellent reputation around the league, and also has the tendency to play his young players over older ones. Castro will also give me permission to make suggestions on the lineups and pitching staff, something that I require in a manager.

In his first year as an ULB major league manager, Castro’s Philadelphia Liberty won the ULB World Series. That year was followed by an outstanding 97-57 season. In 2009, the team declined to 86-69, and then fell to 70-84 with a dry roster. Castro’s emphasis on patience also sticks out, because that’s something that our young players will need to learn about and improve on. He also has a great sense of humor, and is known to play a prank or two on his new players, which should keep morale high in the clubhouse. I offered Manuel a 3 year contract worth 750K per year. He’s an elite manager, so I’ll have to pay a premium for him.
