REVIEW OF GOALS
Upgrade Right field – We weren't too concerned about meeting this goal, but we thought that moving Bonilla there would take care of it. Unfortunately, Bonilla had, by far, his worst season.

Increase Attendance – Similarly, we didn't take too many steps specifically towards this goal. But going from 82 wins to winning the division did the trick

Make the Playoffs – This is the goal we were striving for. And we squeaked it out by a game.

Build a Dynasty – We've won our division 4 out of 5 years. Gone to the World Series 3 out of 5 years and won two of them. High expectations.

NEXT YEAR'S GOALS
Upgrade at First Base – Hollins was the primary first baseman last year playing 857 of 1454.2 innings (59%). He had just an 84 wRC+ and -2 WAR. Chris Donnels was second in first base innings. He had a 79 wRC+ and .2 WAR. Bobby Bonilla was third. He had a 100 wRC+ and 1.5 WAR (mostly played RF). We definitely want better production from first next season. Whether that's from Hollins or Bonilla returning to normal or counting on someone new, time will tell.

Sign Orel Hershiser to an Extension – We have a team option on Orel for next year. The manager wants something longer. In an ideal world, Hershiser would stay and stay productive.

Acquire a Power Hitter – We were fifth in the NL in home runs, and fifth in extra base hits. We were ninth in wOBA and Runs Scored. We were eighth in slugging, tenth in on base percentage and eleventh in batting average. Power wasn't the problem with the offense. Getting on base was.

Reach the Playoffs – That's the plan

Build a Dynasty – We feel like the last 5 years have been pretty good. We'll try and make the next 5 even better.

BUDGET
After we made ownership $30,983,461 this year, they gave us an additional $1,000,000 over what we expected to have to work with.
