You bought the team. Now what?
You just bought an underachieving, established major league baseball team. You play in a relatively new neutral park (favors neither pitchers nor hitters). Your payroll budget is about league average. As a matter of fact, everything about your organization is average, from your minor league system to fan amenities. You purchased the team because you have a plan for baseball and economic success; you can rebuild this organization! Assuming you gave yourself 5 years to turn things around, what would you do? Where would you focus? I’m not looking for specific players, rather an overall organizational philosophy. Some examples:
- Proven veteran players or young, promising (but unproven) talent?
- Pitching focus or hitting focus?
- Speed or power?
- An experienced, older manager with some success or a younger man with no MLB managing experience?
- Invest more heavily in player development or free agency?
These are just some areas to consider. There are many, many more. I also realize there are many shades of gray and I’m not giving you much information up front with which to work. Nonetheless, give it your best shot! Tell us how you envision your ideal team, your perfect organization!
As always, please be respectful and thoughtful with your answers. Thanks!

I would start by trading for young unproven talent, depending on my teams weakest positions that are not filled by franachise players. I would have veterans in the pitching staff to groom the young talent.
-I would focus on pitching, because pitching wins ball games. As for the offense I will go power over speed. A power hitting team can change the game with one swing of the bat.
-I would choose a middle aged manager who has manager experience and is able to help young players get better and is able to get the players to believe what he is saying.
-With this economy and 5 years to turn the team around, I would invest more heavily in player development. These days it seems the young talent is helping teams win.
-I would also scout in other countries because lot of the great players currently in mlb have come from other countries.
-I would never want a player like Carlos Zambrano or Milton Bradley on the team. Those two players are a team cancer.

They do it considering the fact that it's a lot more triumphant promoting process than simply writing their title on soccer shirts. They are presently the most important vigor beverages corporation and what to make their drink extra popular with the intention to battle different firms effectively over the marketplace. It would simply be a proper solution to make investments their cash. Imagine the lovers of all the ones groups shopping Red Bull for his or her video games. Don't fail to remember that they do additionally sponsor the Red Bull Salzburg soccer workforce, the Red Bull Racing F1 workforce, the Scuderia Torro Rosso F1 workforce, the EC Red Bull Salzburg(hockey) workforce and Team Red Bull(NASCAR).
