Fielding An MLB Team

Posted on: August 11, 2010 by No Comments

-In your dreams. Nobody will probably ever give us baseball fans the chance to field and coach our own MLB teams. But there is a way that you can get in on the action though. It is called Fantasy Baseball. There are tons of leagues out there that you can join. Some are better than others, some pay prizes to the winners, others do not. But it can give you a chance to field what players you think will make the better team. You can do roster changes, trade and sub players if one gets hurt or if one is in a slump. Believe it or not, it can be quite tough to do. So if you think you have what it takes to last a season, give it a try!

Don’t Fire The Manager

Posted on: April 23, 2010 by No Comments

It seems that when a team really has a poor year, the manager is the first person to get the blame. Often time managers are the captain of the ship. If it goes down, they go down with it. There is no bailing out, there are no excuses. Sure, the team could have had plenty of injuries or they just really played poorly, but sometimes that doesn’t matter.

More than in the past, lately it seems that managers of some teams are given very little time to turn a team around. If they do not, they get fired and the team is off to the next guy. So if you think it’s fair or not, it really seems to matter very little. If a team slumps, you might be saying good-bye to that manager.
