Owner Goals
Team Record:
You have done a heck of a job so far with this team. To hit our preseason goal of making the postseason, you'll have to keep it up. I know you can do it.
Extend your player:
Do you remember me telling you to get Estanislau Covete signed to an extension? It's not too late to get going on that. The earlier we lock him up the better it will be.
Acquire a player:
I'm pleased with your prompt action. Bringing in a All-Star like Juan Minnelli is exactly what I had in mind.
During our time working together, I have been happy with your progress towards the goals I have set out for you. Considering your current and past successes, I am very happy with your overall performance. It's important to have success on-field and in the boardroom, and you seem to be on that path.
Prospect Performance
2046 Draft
The Royals, courtesy of the best record in baseball in 2045, had the final pick of the first round of the draft and so, as in recent years, took a lottery ticket with a HS player. John Dinsmore is a left-handed, average outfielder with below average speed, but has the potential for plus contact, power, and eye.
The rest of the Royals bonus picks were:
Round 1 (Suppl.), Pick 3 - 3B Ernesto Arellano, age 18 out of high school
Round 2, Pick 34 - SP Joe Teichner, age 18 out of high school
Round 3, Pick 23 - SP J.P. Carrillo, age 18 out of high school
Round 4, Pick 30 - SS Kevin Lawrence, age 17 out of high school
Round 5, Pick 30 - 1B Andy Casazza, age 17 out of high school
The Royals signed all 21 players drafted, with only 14th round CF Edgar Rojas and 20th round RP Julio Corona starting in A ball, the rest in Rookie Ball.
