Raises a good point.

This isn't the Dayton Moore approach. Drafting HS, high-upside guys, who will also be very, very expensive should they develop, seems antithetical for a franchise operating on a lesser budget. And this was part of what I was getting at with an earlier post in this thread, advocating advanced college players, excluding those that sit out b/c a team isn't willing to make them sufficiently wealthy.

Fkg wow!

Long blog post, but well worth the read. Of course, I feel like slitting my wrists after that "uplifting read", but still worth it.

Gotta say, I feel exactly as he does. My emotional currency, as it relates to the Royals, sits at zero. I will watch with some interest, but I won't start "caring" until they can put together a team of people that know WTF they are doing.

Oh my God! They killed Rany! You bastards!

NOOOOOooOooOoO Rany!1111111

I'm still a big royals fan, always will be...im doomed

Good to know I'm not alone in having the feelings that Rany expresses.

I stated in an earlier post in this thread (I believe) that I've been feeling more passionate about the team than the people running it. And in this type of situation, the problem is definitely my own, my own stupidity.

Cheers, Rany. Look forward to seeing you around the water cooler from time to time.

the funny thing is when they won it all i was ****ing watching heman cartoons and didnt give a shit at 6 years old

btw i read somewhere that the braves are open about escobar but it will take a matt holliday type player to pry him loose, probably why dayton hasnt gotten him

ROFL

Wishful thinking, dude.

ROFL what a bad typo

You know what? if i had typed "ROYALS" instead of braves, that would've been believable.:doh!:

Remember when Baird was absolutely in love with Austin Kearns? Well, we've found Dayton's version.

:doh!:

That was one of the funniest things I had ever heard anyone say, acting like scrubs are top priority.

who wouldn't you trade for Escobar? (assuming "we" didn't have a hardon for Betancourt)

Butler?
Gordon?
Meche?
Teahen and DDJ?

(just asking)

Greinke. List over.

Yes, I'd trade Soria for a front-line SS.
