Happy 9th Birthday Dayton Moore!
Dayton's 9th year begins today. I thought I'd start a thread to discuss his performance, which is now the longest GM tenure in club history. 4 out of 30 teams failed to make MLB playoffs in that time, his being one obviously. He has one winning season where he finished 3rd. (Incidentally KC went 15-4 vs a terrible Minny and 71-72 vs all else).
Moore is currently mired at 26-30 with no realistic hope to make the playoffs this year and doubtful even to have a winning record. "This is on me" he told the media the other day. Of course, he doesn't really believe that.
8 years over and the prospect wave failed horribly. The only decent players he has are big dollar guys from other teams (Shields, Guthrie, Infante) and a holdover from Baird (Gordon). Moore produced Sal and Holland and Ventura. That's it.
What will you be getting Moore for his birthday today?
