Yep, he's never failed to sign a 1st round pick - pretty hard to grasp for you, huh? Once again in the Moore era, the Royals go well over slot on a 1st round pick, spend a ton on the draft, and a few idiot fans don't have anything to cry about for the time being.

Can't wait until next year where you're back here complaining about how cheap Glass is and that we'll probably not sign our 1st round pick. Simpletons are so fun to converse with.

GLASS IS CHEAP! GLASS IS CHEAP! GLASS IS CHEAP!

LOL

Do you understand that Glass has been around longer than '05? He's the common denominator, ace. Before '05 picks were largely made BECAUSE THEY'D SIGN, so this is the weakest piece of evidence I've seen on here in a long time. You're convinced that Glass has changed. Great. I'm not.

Of course, and not one person in this entire thread has argued that he's been Steinbrennerish during his tenure here. He certainly made mistakes early on and was cheap - NO ONE IS DENYING THAT. However, he has also changed his ways over the last few years, evidenced by increased spending on the draft, in FA, and in Latin America. If you can't see that, then again, you are a simpleton.



Can't you say that about any GM? "Well he's doing good, but let's see what he'll do in the future". Wow, no duh Sherlock. Bottom line, Glass was cheap in the past, but has done a complete 180 over the past few seasons during the Dayton Moore era. I'm not sure why any reasonable fan could have anymore hesitation at this point.

Again, you think he's changed. I'm not entirely convinced, yet. Are things much, much better? Of course. There's no question, but this organization still has a ways to go. Let's tackle the ML payroll next and things will be looking pretty darn good, indeed.

As to your second point: Yes, GM's are responsible for making individual selections, but the owner must supply the necessary resources. This finally seems to be the case with Moore, but we really have no idea what kind of GM Baird was, for example. He was asked to make chicken salad again and again. So a good part of a GM's success is tied to resources, i.e. money, that the owner provides.

Royals fans, do baseball a favor and just shut up. You shitheads know nothing about baseball.

Let the Cardinals fans do the talking and stay the hell out of our way.

As a die hard royals fan i can understand why you'd be pessimistic, since we've been cheap for so long, but i have to believe Dayton would'nt stay here without full backing of our owner and commitement. Something tells me Glass's son was a big culprit on our cheap days as well and dayton said back the **** off

I fully hope this is the case. But when I hear Moore say things like, "Our attendance needs to be 2.5 mil for payroll to be around 75." I get very, very worried.
