You can make complex player trades and sign players to multi-year contracts as you build your team, but you'll have to compete with the other General Managers, and negotiate with the player's agents. Baseball Mogul also lets you manage the finances for your ball club. Raise revenue by setting the price of tickets and concessions, and selling the TV broadcast rights, while you manage the budget for your farm system, player scouts, medical staff, and player payroll. But be careful, because fans can be fickle if you don't win or you raise ticket prices! If you don't succeed in your first year, you get a new chance with Baseball Mogul's in-depth amateur draft. Pick and choose from the best high school and college talent around the world. If your new players are good enough, have them join your team right away, otherwise send them to your minor league franchise for training and improvement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e You just signed your first draft pick, a rookie pitcher.  Does he have what it takes to help your team become the World Champs!\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e Baseball Mogul 2008 is the latest version of the award-winning Baseball Mogul series, in which you assume the role of the General Manager of your favorite professional baseball team.  Unlike action game simulations, Baseball Mogul is a game of strategy that requires sharp wits rather than an itchy trigger finger.  If you like fantasy baseball, you will love Baseball Mogul 2008!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"product_header\"\u003eNew Features\u003c\/div\u003e     \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW\u003c\/b\u003e Baseball Mogul Encyclopedia - Outputs over 30,000 interlinked       HTML pages.
