Luck is the residue of intent. Antonym: Moore, Dayton.

I'm not kidding when I say this: posters at the cesspool that is the official Royals' message board created a petition for management change.. on CHANGE.ORG . What. The. ****.

Ewwwww!

Well, if you don't like soccer, there's always NASCAR! LMAO

Firing last year's hitting coach seems to have solved most of their problems on offense.

Go Ned...go Royals.

Didn't catch who St. John had on this morning but the question was asked if firing Seitzer was a Yost or Moore decision. This person felt it was a Yost decision.

This thread just took a left turn.

This is where I'm at.

If I could get rid of both tomorrow, I would. But I will at least give credit to Glass for giving Moore the resources he asked for. I just hope Moore's failure to take advantage doesn't scare Glass into withdrawing that level of support and investment for the next guy.

Moore's inability to build a system that can turn prospects into quality MLB players is the biggest failing.

It's clear they have scouted well and found talented athletes and ballplayers. But that talent has not faired well when making the big jumps (A+ to AA, minors to MLB). Two years after having so much talent in the minor league system that the national guys (Goldstein, Mayo, JJ Cooper, etc) were talking about it in historic terms, the payoff is Sal Perez, some great bullpen arms, James Shields, Wade Davis, and a couple of hitters with immense natural talent who are busting.

Moore's MLB roster construction, outside the bullpen, has also been poor. Lot of wasted money on guys that he is then overly loyal to.

If it makes you feel any better, it's not just the Royals. Appears the Mariners are having the same problem. Of course, they sent down Montero and just sent down Ackley. Eric Wedge blames sabermetrics for Ackley's struggles:

Wedge was talking about Ackley's demotion to Triple-A and his mental approach, and he intimated that Ackley might have been too concerned with pitch selectivity and high on-base percentage, leading to a one-liner that hit on one of baseball's most intriguing ongoing philosophical battles.

"It's the new generation. It's all this sabermetrics stuff, for lack of a better term, you know what I mean?" Wedge said. "People who haven't played since they were 9 years old think they have it figured out. It gets in these kids' heads."

Then ESPN's David Schoenfeld says it's time to fire Eric Wedge. Why? "Seattle's failure to consistently develop prospects could soon cost manager Eric Wedge his job" :

But the list of Mariners position players besides Jones and Choo once rated in Baseball America's top 100 prospects is a sad list:

...

How does this happen? How can one organization fail so miserably? Certainly, there's been a system-wide failure -- again, through different regimes and thus different major and minor league coaches and instructors -- to develop hitters with the ability to control the strike zone. Is that just bad luck? Bad coaching? Bad Safeco Field karma?

Me again: Does that sound familiar, Royals fans?

Very, very familiar.
