Owner Goals
Team Record:
With a bunch of games left to play, we are in a decent position to make the postseason. That's been our goal all year so keep driving to get it done!
Upgrade a position:
I didn't expect Marquis Foggie would already be a top-6 shortstop by this point. If he can keep it up, I have no doubt this goal will be marked complete at season's end.
Acquire a player:
I asked you at the beginning of the season to improve the team at Hometown player. So far, you haven't made any progress. I hope you'll keep looking. I think a new Hometown player is just what this team needs to turn the corner.
Build your farm:
I would definitely like to see us with a better farm system. I told you that, and I would appreciate some progress towards that. I'm disappointed right now with your effort towards this goal.
Improve your fan interest:
Sometimes I think you're trying to alienate our fans.
Improve your team record:
I was hoping for better results in close games. Please keep working on it.
