Development Budget
Draft expenses
IFA expenses
Misc. expenses

Hired a new scout. Old scout was neutral, new one is favors tools.


Think I'm just going to keep hiring new scouts until I get one that agrees with what I want my farm system to look like

[Cnasty]

Not a bad idea.

I get that but it never works out for me. I can never go over $18 a ticket without having 15% empty seats in the stadium. I don't spend money on scouting/development/IFA so that is a nonissue.

Pretty much the only way to consistently have higher ticket prices is to consistently win a lot.


At the beginning of last season, my ticket prices were in the $10 range, but by the end of the season, it was at $24. But at the start of this season it'll probably be back in the $15-17 range.

Yup, you just have to build consistent winners and things gradually go up. Can’t be bad and then have 2 good seasons and expect it to shoot up. Most guys just don’t have the patience to do it and go over budget too soon and guarantee their run will be 2-3 seasons

36 dollars for a game in Bama and it's usually close to a sellout.

Bama has won at least 89 games every season since 2043.

I'm 34 I think, somewhere in there and usually don't sell out until sometime mid season except for sporadic games here and there.

I have the worst scout ratings wise in the league but at least he tells me what I want to hear

[The_Niddler]

I am at $14 from sucking for many seasons.

figures Miami is @ Sheltown to start the yr for the banner raising.

Unless I'm looking at that wrong, OSA only has four blue rated non-reliever players in the NCAA ranks. A 72 rated 2B, a 71 rated RF, a 71 rated SS, and a 68 rated LF. If you include relievers, the top 11 players are all closers

Granted, I'm sure they'll get bumps during the season and prior to draft.

[Cnasty]

Great season for Boston not to have a draft pick!

First pitch set for 3:10 cst, but it may actually go off at 3:10am the next day with a nice, 12 hour pre-game ceremony.
