Power Pros Forum

Tim walked into the office of Mr. Kojima, slightly worried about what the boss would say.

Tim: Mr. K? Can I have a word with you?
Mr. K: Of course, what is it, Tim?
Tim: Well, I contacted Mr. Murphy about managing the team, but the thing is, he wants to play third base and manage.
Mr. K: Good.
Tim: ...Excuse me?
Mr. K: Good. It saves me money if I only have to pay one man to do two jobs. As long as he can do a good job at both, let him. Can he do both jobs well?
Tim: Well, you think he is a qualified manager, and he did play in the minor leagues and spring training for a year before being banned. Apparently he is quite the power hitter.
Mr. K: We need him on the team somehow so we can attract an American audience. Americans aren't going to be interested in a team halfway around the world, with a bunch of players they've never heard of. We need someone to draw them and their money to us. And who could do it better than an American internet star?
Tim: I wouldn't call him a "star", but very well. What should I tell Mr. Murphy?
Mr. K: Tell him he has both an interview for the manager position, and a spot at spring training, with a chance to win the third base job.
Tim: I'll get right on it. Thank you for your time.
Mr. K: See that it is done.

I gave it a 6/10. I think that you're so concerned about what others want
, that is a bad sign. Just have fun. Personally, I like to see what trades,pickups, etc. I don't follow too many logs myself.

As long as you're having fun, don't worry about the ratings.

Also, for me, personally, if all your players are level C, B, or A in everything, and all your pitchers have breaking pitches at level 5 or higher, it's not going to be fun for me to follow.

Tim: Yes, Mr. Murhpy?
Kent: What's up, Timmy? Did you talk to the boss?
Tim: Yeah, he said that we can afford to offer you the manager position, and we'll offer you a spring training spot with a chance to win the third base job. Sound good?
Kent: Yes sir, that's all I need! Except for one other thing...
Tim: And that is?
Kent: Well, you see, my step-mom, Karen, wants me to bring my step-brother, Lonnie, with. And he's not exactly talented. But she said that if I go to play, I have to let Lonnie play too. And I told her that I can't have someone sucky on my team like that but she yelled at me.
Tim: I'm sure we can figure something out for your step-brother.
Kent: And my friend Chucky Wilson wants to come too. He just got out of jail and is free to leave the country now.
Tim: Out of jail??!?
Kent: Yeah, it was just a few nights for drunk driving and resisting arrest. It's not the first time, though.
Tim: If all these are deal breakers, I'm sure something can be arranged, but I don't want to promise you anything impossible.
Kent: Feel free to cut Lonnie or something, I don't want him to be on my team. But Chucky has what it takes. One time he almost struck me out but then I hit a dinger off him because I am the best hitter. Like, ever.
Tim: Alright... so anyway, we have arranged an interview for you in two weeks, on the 6th, at 2 p.m. local time. We will send you plane tickets in the mail, if you could just email me your address. And then for your two friends, we can give them a tryout during spring training.
Kent: Just a warning, I'll probably need some security guards or something.
