We Got Wood - 41.05 - The One Where We Get a New Manager

Post by 7teen » Wed Dec 11, 2019 12:59 pm

The managerial run of Mr. Tarafah-bin Bahir was a short one. The guy found of the streets of Portland and inserted in as the team's manager when it became official that Portland was getting a team will be a one-and-done guy at the helm of the Lumberjacks. The 34-year old Kuwaiti's contract was allowed to expire at the end of the 2040 season and he was let go, possibly to never manage in the BBA again.

"We're not exactly sure how he got in to start with" said team General Manager Chris Wilson. "I arrived late last year and all of these guys were in place as coaches and managers. We were told by the Commissioner's office we could remove them if we wanted and bring in our own guys but we wanted to make sure we portrayed an aura of diversity within the organization so we kept everyone who was put in place mysteriously. We knew everyone was on a one year deal so we just waited it out so we could hire all new guys going into 2041. You know, guys who can follow the 'Master PlanTM'"

Replacing Bahir as the new and second manager in Portland Lumberjacks history will be former BBA pitcher Jose Aicon. Aicon, the Lumberjacks' Short Season manager, will get a huge promotion as he moves rapidly up the ranks to the big leagues.

"We like what we saw in Aicon this past season, despite the team's record in Antigua" commented Wilson. "He's a very analytical guy with no strong biases towards any one particular style of play. Considering we really don't have a set style early on in Portland, we felt bringing in someone neutral was a good choice."

Reports around the league rank Aicon as an average managerial choice with a neutral personality. The front office hopes bringing in a former player with a neutral personality might be a good choice that won't scare off potential free agents, especially pitchers as Aicon was once one in the league.

Aicon the player was in the BBA from 2013-2026. He compiled a career record of 106-90 with 11 saves. He's 9th all-time in Wins with the Madison Wolves franchise with 95 total. His Madison connections probably helped him get promoted within the coaching ranks in Portland.

There’s no set style of play for the Lumberjacks? What kind of Master Plan (TM) is this?

A foggy one. Keep everyone in the fog.

And when we win, the plan will be obvious. ;)
