There are numerous examples of this the last several years. Sure I wish Glass would spend some more money too, I wish he'd spend $200 million a year and give us a super team but that's not feasible. Before they gutted the team to bring up the young guys they were spending 75-85 million a year on payroll. And that was while also spending record amounts in the draft and Latin America. But now the payroll has been chipped down to bring up Hosmer and Moose and everyone else playing on a rookie contract, we've devolved back into that cheap argument. It's partially BS... we just spend money on guys like Jose Guillen. Meanwhile other teams like Colorado, Oakland, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee are at least making a run here and there spending the same amount of money the Royals do.
