How would you retool the Royals? What do you do with guys like Moustakas and Hosmer? How do you try and develop the players you have in A ball? What kind of trades might you make in order to restock the farm system?

I set as many sticks of dynamite throughout the stadium and boom. They all go off at the same time. Problem solved. We move it downtown, rid ourselves of blue and light blue uniforms. EVERYONE is on the table as far as trade. I hire a pure numbers guy as my assistant, I prefer someone who has never played baseball past high school and only looks at the numbers. I completely change the culture from low A ball to Kansas City, including hitting approach and pitching approach, completely understanding not every prospect is the same.
