One of your duties for the Mud Hens is to recommend contract incentives. You want the manager to focus on developing talent for the Tigers. (Note: The Detroit Tigers own the Mud Hens as a "farm team." The best Mud Hen players move up to the Tigers.)

1) Suggest how the contract might motivate the manager to focus on developing top talent.

2) What else might the manager do with his time besides developing top talent?

3) If your friend were applying for the job of Mud Hens manager, how might he credibly show that he both thought that he was good at developing talent and that he will focus on it? (Cheap talk is not credible.)
