But I've seen enough from Moore to conclude that he is a fcking baseball moron. He simply does not understand what makes baseball players valuable or how to allocate resources to build a successful MLB team. He is in over his head as a GM but would be a very good scouting director where he can focus solely on the draft and international signings.
It is possible to win without a massive $100+ million payroll, but you need outside the box thinking and a GM that understands why guaranteeing $14 million to Jeff Francoeur and signing Yuni Betancourt are terrible decisions.
Andrew Friedman, Jon Daniels, Theo Epstein, and Alex Anthopoulos could absolutely win in KC. Our next GM needs to be ultra intelligent, not just a baseball lifer.

Here is Dayton Moore in a 9 points and what it takes to be a good GM with someone like Glass. It is something most of us deal with on a daily basis:
1. Glass.."I want to buy this player..."
2. Moore.."That player isn't very good..."
3. Glass.."I've heard good things, buy him..."
4. Moore.."Okay.."
1 season later
5. Glass..."That player you bought sure does suck.."
6. Moore.."It's not my fault, you told me to buy him.."
7. Glass.."Sure it's your fault.."
8. Moore.."Why is it my fault, I didn't say to buy him?"
9. Glass.."Cause you did a poor job of talking me out of buying him!"
