I'm a Cardinals fan, but I follow the Royals closely and consider myself an unbiased observer.
It's time for Pena to go. 1) The fanbase needs a shot in the arm to keep ticket sales up. It's obvious that it's not going to come in the form of a big player signing. The next best thing is a new manager. 2) The stated goal for this season was to develop young talent. It's not happening. They completely lack fundamentals and they're getting worse instead of better. |

We don't have the players. Baseball Jesus couldn't manage the Royals to .500 at this point.

In other words, he's pocketing some of the shared money, because the payroll is only $38M. The other owners are starting to get pissed. Don't be surprised if there's a salary minimum in the next CBA. |

That said, and this is just my personal opinion, I hope Glass is saving some money, and when it comes time for some of these guys to get paid, we have a little money to spend. It really would be the smartest way to do things, as opposed to ride up against a zero profit/salary cap space threshold and pay the piper down the road like most fans want to do. |

And not to downplay the importance of fundamentals, another huge issue with this team is their inability to hit. You can't go through streaks of 3-5 hit games where you score 1-2 runs and expect to win very much. Pena's going to be fired. I think anyone who expects anything to improve after that, just because we changed managers, is going to be sorely disappointed. And I hear a lot of talk about needing a disciplinarian. Well, the name "Tony Muser" comes to mind. We all remember how that went, I'm sure. Players are the only thing that will win games. |

Part of the problem, like you said, is in the farm system. And alot of that stems from their TERRIBLE drafting over the last few years. |

This team has the potential to have some GREAT pitchers and he's ruining them. He leaves them in too long, he takes them out too soon, there's zero consistency. |
