***Official 2023 Royals Season Repository Thread***

[ChiefsCountry]

2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

The religious stuff will always be joked about because he brought that upon himself. Sending the team to an anti-porn seminar in spring training. The comment about building better fathers and sons than baseball players..the inside reports that the Royals would move guys up and down on their draft boards due to religious faith. You bring jokes and skepticism to yourself when you engage in those things.

But to be honest at the end of the day, I could give a shit about his faith or religion. He completely lost ability to build a competent baseball team. After 2015 he couldn't make a trade or FA signing to save his life and he hadn't drafted well since years before that.

The man was unable to pivot in an ever changing landscape of baseball.

Where did you read that?

You should ask Duncan about it, he had sources in the organization that told him those things mattered to their draft boards.

Like I won't argue that Gavin Cross was going in round 1 whether the Royals took him or not....but it isn't some wild coincidence that Moore drafted a guy who he knew his dad, the dad ran a religious based traveling baseball team etc etc.

I'm gonna go ahead and just believe that it's true. I have faith that the information Duncan provided is accurate.

Dayton would often say in interviews how the quality of the person is just as if not more important than the skill as a player.

Which when your job is to evaluate baseball talent is a ridiculous thing to say.

That's always been the problem. I at least hope no one cares that Moore was heavily religious, but it should've had absolutely no bearing on how he constructed a baseball team, which from multiple angles seems to have not been the case.

Why would anyone care if someone else is or is not religious? People spend way too much time worrying about things that have no impact on their own lives.

That wasn’t the claim I asked about

It is related. If he makes those statements on a radio interview then it is 100% believable they drafted using the same standards.

I cannot remember one interview that Moore did not spend more time talking about the quality of the human vs the player.

He had sources that Tyreek did it, no if and or buts about it also.

Quit believing what any Tom Dick or Harry tells you on CP or any social media.
