Interview with the World Champion Manager Slimyizzy

I sat down with the Slimizzy to get to know him a little better. He is the defending World Champion so let's see if we can get inside his head and learn a thing or two.

Buzz: Thanks for the taking the time to answer some questions Slimyizzy we realy appreaciate it.
Slimizzy: No problem thanks for asking

Buzz: So how long have you been a member of the Snider World?
Slimizzy: This is going to be my second season in Snider.
Buzz: Can you tell us where you're from?
Slimizzy: I'm from Ontario, Canada
Buzz: Canadian eh? ...sorry couldn't help it..let's move on...Have you always been a baseball fan? DId you play growing up?
Slimizzy:I'm a huge Jays fan and I still play baseball to this day.
Buzz:You won your first World Series, which means you have to have great commitment to your team, how much time do you put into Snider on a daily basis?
Slimizzy: I check my scores at all three times throughout the day and make my changes for probably 15 minutes after each game. So I probably spend nearly an hour a day doing different things involving my team.
Buzz: What's your strategy of choice....win it with pitching or slug your way to the top?
Slimizzy: I thought I had a good combination of pitching and hitting, but apparently the simulation didn't agree, so I have a great set of young bats that hammer out a ton of runs and my pitching I guess isn't fantastic, but they have their bright spots. Therefore I would have to say my bats have gotten me to where I am in this league.
Buzz: Are you more active in the free agent market or do you generally improve from within?
Slimizzy: I like to grab a player or two that can either fill a positional bench role when it's in the ending innings and I need solid defence or a good hitter to get me the hit in a pinch hitting situation. I also like trading and acquiring players that way.
Buzz: Las Vegas won season 2, you won season 3, how tough is it playing in that division and is there a rivalry brewing?
Slimizzy: The division is tough and Arizona looks like a good competitor this season as well, I started off slower than I would have liked, so we will grind it out all season and hopefully I can repeat what I did last season. I wouldn't say a rivalry is brewing, but I'm open to it haha and I'm really competitive so I watch to see if Vegas won or lost their game.
Buzz: How long do think you'll stay here at Snider?
Slimizzy: I enjoy this league so I'll be around a while.
Buzz: What do you think of the world, and do you have any suggestions for improvement?
Slimizzy: The world can be pretty talkative on the boards I read quite a few lengthy wars on there, which I like. I don't have really many suggestions to give, but I would like it if people started their scrubs when they face me so I can win some more ball games ;)
Buzz: What are your chances of repeating in season 4?
Slimizzy: I lost a key SP in Bill Peterson, not sure what happened, I wasn't able to get to a computer often where I was, so even though I put in a heafty offer, I lost him in free agency. So that will hurt my chances there, but on the other hand, my batters developed even more and I feel they will be a huge force and driving factor to get me back into the WS.
Buzz: What do you think is the key to winning?
Slimizzy: The key to winning I suppose is just paying attention. Know your park, your players and your system.

Well thank your for your time buddy and keep up the good work eh...
