KC, under Glass ownership, could well be an untenable situation for all but the most brilliant GMs. No doubt. There is no real arguing your point.
That said, DM also foolishly spends the resources that he has been allotted. Look no further than Luke Hochevar and a completely wasted 4-5 million dollars. If this were an isolated incident with Moore, no one would care, but this is a pattern.
DM is habitually incompetent, and I'm astounding that some are willing to give him up to nine years without any viable on-field results.
But I guess if we can continue to win Baseball Prospectus Championships, we should be satisfied.
