The Proper Assistant (Hoppy Endings, Sim 6) [PP:2052.14]

What does it take to be a good assistant GM in the BBA? The Jackrabbits organization contends that it's the ability to step right in and do exactly what the normal GM would do.

While GM Bauer begins his long road to recovery, the team doesn't seem to be missing a beat under Assistant GM Nazih Bin Amid. The former bench coach doesn't have much coaching skill or possess the mental acumen to be a BBA executive. But the native of Yemen has one ability that trumps all others - telepathy.

"Amid clears his mind and can seem to tap into Bauer's exact behaviors, actions and thoughts," remarked owner Jim Leonard. "It's pretty wild. I call him into my office and it's as if I'm speaking to Mike. The reasoning behind his moves as an executive and his draft logic mimics Mike so greatly it feels we really don't need any adjustment at all as an organization."

Amid moved quick to fill the void left by lefty slugger Richard "Moo" Mendoza, who landed on the 60-day DL, by signing free agent Liann-Wei "The Chairman" Mao, fresh off his contributions last year to the BBA champion Crawdads. "Mao can't play the outfield like Moo Mendoza, but he will the lefty void in the lineup we currently have," stated Amid. "We're glad to have a player of Mao's pedigree and championship experience on board."

The Jackrabbits currently hold a 18-19 record and are managing to tread water well enough with Bauer out of commission. The BBA Amatuer draft is also now underway, and Amid has been busy with evaluations and picks. OF Stephen Futon was drafted 3rd overall and should be a quality corner outfielder for the Jackrabbits after a year or two of seasoning. In the second and third rounds, Amid opted to bolster the starting pitching, adding solid prospects Rob Shelton and Brent Gilbert into the fold. Shelton is currently injured and will need about another 5 months to recover, but Amid saw other GM's passing on Shelton due to the injury and decided to capitalize. "There's nothing wrong with a medical redshirt to get a player of Shelton's skill. It'll be 2053 before we know it."

Hopefully in 2053 Bauer will also be fully healed so the organization can usefully deploy Amid to start reading BBA opponent's minds.
