alnorth has lost his way. He used to be kind of funny... now he is serious all of the time. Poor, poor alnorth.

Royals signed an 18-year old RHP from the dominican this week to go along with a 16-yr-old they signed last month.

If that second one sounds young, its not unusual and part of the reason why some people want an international draft. You cant wait for every kid to do something in latin america, a few teams have begun to sign truckloads of teens from latin america based on just potential before other teams get a chance to see them and hope a couple of them work out.

Royals suck
David Glass only cares about making a profit, not winning.

Are we done here?

Yeah, you can count on plenty more. As long as there are glASS suckups out there Like you), there will be plenty of us around to correct the record. So keep dreaming son-of-glASS...

Honestly, what are you talking about? Glass was terrible for a stretch and helped to run this franchise into the ground. EVERYONE AGREES. The last several years, he's been spending money the right way and things are looking up. Everyone should agree with this as well.

He's turned into a regular George Steinbrenner! Much like King Carl, he'll do just enough to keep some folks coming, and make his profit revenue sharing. I don't think winning is a concern of his.

I would say that everyone in this thread should just stop responding to GloryDayz. He clearly doesn't know what he is talking about.

Look, if you come to talk Royals, it's pretty silly to do anything but suck up to them. As for "knowing" about baseball, it's rather obvious you need to be a bit more of a student of the game or your going to remain clueless about what it takes to make a successful MLB team. Obviously you struggled to play Little League. You strike me as the fat kid that batted 10th. Now sit down a STFU little man! Please don't reply, the stupid-drool just streams down you lips with each keystroke.

If you want to see a team built that way, then move to New York. You'll get it there.

You have failed to prove that Glass did this about face with no pressure from other big market owners. A leopard doesn't change his spots.

One version that is widely circulated by the KC media is that DM turned down the job several times, and this was sort of an eye-opening experience for Glass; when he realized that he couldn't even make a hire, he realized that things needed to change.

This is why DM allegedly received some assurances about what would or would not be possible as GM.

Now, I don't think everything DM has expected (or was told to expect) has come to fruition, and the 180 degree difference in draft philosophy from when he took the job to now suggests this.
