Re: Before We Go: The Oakland Athletics
Woah,
Just played a game, and this is going to be a battle. Didn't realize dynamic difficulty would start me off on legend-legend. So the offense was non-existent, but the offense isn't my main concern right now.
I want to sure-up the pitching the best I can right now. Shintaro Fujinami made the start and struck out 8 batters over 4 innings. So the stuff is there, but he was tired after just 4 innings. That's going to be brutal over the course of a season. So I'm going to raid the free agent pool for anybody that could help the pitching staff. There's a couple 18-year-old starters in there that could give me something to focus on in the minor, but I'll be bringing on some familiar names for the bullpen. I'll hit y'all with the names in the next post.
At the moment, I feel like I'm trying to build an organization like the San Francisco Giants. I need to maximize what I can get from all my pitchers and scratch together whatever offense I can. My goal is to compete for a Wild Card spot this year, and at the very least, be able to convince myself that I'm playing meaningful baseball games in September.
