Was that Dayton’s or Beane’s call?

He did it. Heck of an effort against a team that was off to one of the best starts ever.

As far as I know it was Dayton's call. Either Manaea or Almonte. We picked wrong obviously lol

GMDM alluded to the fact that Beane wanted either Almonte or Manaea.

Would have been nice to have the 2015 World Championship & Manaea.

Oh well...

That's all I've got.

The world series was awesome, but I'm with kcchiefs1 I'd take the world series and Manaea. It's a good thing I'm used to the losing. You have a ton of Royals fans who started being fans during the winning. I'm willing to bet most of them won't be fans anymore.

Al Bundy 04-21-2018 09:52 PM

Very depressing that the Royals could have given up Almonte instead. It does show that Dayton and his scouts can't spot good pitching.

Pitt Gorilla 04-21-2018 10:44 PM

Be nice to have a young pitcher like that. Nice job, allard Moore.

Their primary concern was injury with Manaea. But yeah, it was a large mistake.

OKchiefs 04-22-2018 07:10 AM

I don't think Moore has really made the right decision on just about anything since the World Series.

Chiefspants 04-22-2018 07:33 AM

To be fair to Moore on this point, Manaea has yet to show he can get through a full season without injury/wearing down.

If he does get through a full season at this level, that man is a CYA contender. I think we always knew his ceiling, and I doubt anyone would take back that trade.

If he does get through a full season, though. That man is a CYA contender. I think we always knew his ceiling, I doubt anyone would take back that trade, though.

I wouldn't take it back.
