Andy woke up on this rainy day to go to his office at Petco Park. Andy was looking at some scouting reports he made as his phone buzzed... Padres GM REPLACEMENT will be decided by 12:00 pm. Andy got a great rush because he knows that he is the front runner to receive the job, but Andy likes the job that he has now being the head scout. There was a knock at his office door... it was the Padres owner. After the two spoke for a couple of minutes the owner told Andy he will be the new GM of the Padres. The owner also told Andy that he will have to speak at the next press conference that will be held in 2 days. Andy then left Petco Park thinking about how the press conference will go.

I'll follow this. Are you going to post the rosters?

i will post the rosters soon

Andy was ready to make his first public appearance as the new GM of the Padres. He was a little nervous, but he knew he could handle the fear of him messing up in front of everyone.

Now after the owner talked to the press about Andy being the new GM it was time for Andy to answer some questions. The first question was from a man in the front: "What will you need to do this season to turn the Padres into a winning team?" Andy: "I think we will need to trade for starting pitchers and fielders that play good defense." A woman in the back asked: "What are the odds of the Padres to make the playoffs?" Andy: "I think we have a decent shot at making the playoffs because we have a lot of good quality guys." Andy answered more questions and the press conference ended.

Andy thought the press conference went really well. Andy really thought that the Padres had a decent chance to make the playoffs based off of some trade ideas that he had come up with.

Cool! Are you using complete updated rosters?

yes I am! it took so long.

I'm definitely following then! I love updated roster logs!

I just have 4 teams left in my roster update.

If anyone wants to be an agent for 1 or 2 players then just let me know.

I'll take Seth Smith and Tyson Ross

ok power pros 27, would you like to have them practice together?

I don't think they can. I'll have Ross work on control and Smith in trajectory

ok got them practicing now.

I'll take Despaigne and Kennedy. Can I see their breaking balls please?
