In an unusual turn of events, the General Manager (Juan De Marco) and the Manager (Don Quixote) of the Ottawa Daemons have clashed over whom they should select first in the Waivers Draft to be held this afternoon.
Senor Quixote feels the team needs another pitcher and would like to draft a C. Schilling or a M. Redman. However General De Marco feels that the team is better off trying to draft an SS and sign him long-term, and has his sights set on a D. Jeter or a R. Furcal.
The two have been wrangling about it for hours, and their personal bodyguards have had to intervene occasionally to keep them from going to blows - or worse! The sound of gunshots would probably not sit well with fans of the team, or with the police for that matter!
The compromise solution may very well end up being T. Nixon, who is a fan favourite, as well as a player that both the GM & Manager respect. Hopefully this tense situation will be worked out with a peaceful negotiation!
