The Joes began the season with Desi Wilson, a former first baseman with the San Francisco Giants, serving as the team's manager.[1] However, midway through the season, he left the position of manager and was activated as a player. He was then traded to the South Georgia Peanuts where he served as a player-coach for the remainder of the season. Wilson was replaced at the position by veteran minor league manager Kash Beauchamp.[2]
The team finished their lone season at 5th place in the league standings, 12 games in front of the last place Charlotte County Redfish.[3]
