First thing I do is check out our finances.
We have the lowest budget not only in the NL, but in the entire MLB at $48.1M.
Our payroll is $43..4M and we have $4.5M in cash.
Our projected profit stands at $4.7M.
Time to tweak the budget to see how we can increase our projected profit.
I lower ticket prices from $10.00 to $7.50.
I lower food from $3.60 to $3.50.
I lower drinks from $3.00 to $2.95.
I raise ice cream from $2.50 to $2.55.
Seeing the big picture, I change our Broadcast from Local Blackout to Normal Broadcast. I want everyone to see this team as much as possible, even if it means we are going to lose a bit of ticket sales at first.
Right now, our team expenses are:
Farm $2.35M (30th)
Scouting $2.2M (30th)
Medical Staff $850K (30th)
After some tweaks, we look like this going into 2011:
Farm $2.4 (28th)
Scouting $2.5 (29th)
Medical Staff $1.4 (28th)
I will continue to tweak once I see what I can trim off the payroll, if anything.
Our projected profit is now $4.2M
