That system was on the heels of the "$1000 draft", where Glass would only sign players after Round (3?) to $1000 deals if they wanted to be on the Royals. That doesn't even touch how the Royals had zero presence in Latin America and that their international scouting was a mess at best and non-existant at worst. That system was a special kind of trainwreck.

The fact that it is even a discussion that Allard Baird's farm system and Dayton Moore's are even close to each other speaks to the poor job Moore's has dine over the last what 7 years? Even if you believe bin the last 2 classes there is really no excuse that after over 10 years the system has fallen to this level again.
Let's also remember how much more money Moore has been allowed to spend that Baird ever was on any and everything. This year's Mlb team is worse than anything Baird assembled at about 5 times the cost.
It's an apples and oranges comparison.
