Describe your GM style: I do like to take a team at the bottom and rebuild it it through the draft, waiver claims. I pay special attention to the team structure with good coaches up and down the ladder, development strong managers and a good scouting director (though it looks like they will not be needed in this league). At the same time I do not like to tank and tear it down to the studs as it will kill the budget and fan interest rendering me unable to re sign or add to the roster I’ve built.
Have you ever answered to the alias "Al Hoot"? (a little BBA inside joke!): Not under oath.
Tell us more about yourself: Former minor league play by play broadcaster in the minor leagues who still loves the game and baseball computer sims. I even was the color commentator voice on the last two versions of High Heat Baseball for Nintendo 2 and the original X Box.
