New Astros GM

Post by Cardinals »

ExCo decided it was time to let Dan G. go after over a year of showing that he simply didn't have a direction for his team, and after repeatedly making lopsided trades. It wasn't likely that he'd change and get the hang of things after over a year, and he understood and was cordial about leaving and wished us all the best of luck going forward.

And with that, we already have a replacement in, and just like last time, it's an old GM returning back. This time it's Nate, who again has time for the IBC. He'll take over immediately as the Astros GM, and will continue the rebuilding effort.

So, let's all welcome Nate back to the fold, it's certainly good to know we've got a good GM taking over a rebuilding team.

Oh, and with Pat and Nate back, I think this is appropriate:

Good god, it's like the Blues Brothers. Are Chrash and Pickett next?

Welcome back, Nate. I hope your team is still kind of bad next season when you join us in the ALW.

Thanks for the welcome back. It's good to be back. This team is going to need a ton of work. So I look forward to a long road ahead of me and a lot of forthcoming pickups and trafes. Cheers.

edit:

Okay, so that was just a quick post from my phone while on a break at work. Apologies for the spelling and shortness. I'll properly reintroduce myself here in another post, but looking forward to being back in the league. I've missed the IBC.

Thanks again everyone. I'm looking to make some deals for any usable parts. I need to mold this roster into something playable for the upcoming season. All offers will be entertained. Seriously.. Back End starters, pen arms, Bench help.. Starting positions. I need help everywhere. Get at me.
