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.

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.

I wouldn't worry too much, part of his job is to get fans in the seats, but i think he is very dedicated to getting this franchise back on the winning track. I doubt he'd take a job just for the hell of it. In Dayton We Trust...we have been signing our 1st rounders and spending moola on them rather than being cheap. Last year we tried for FA's too....i bet we do the same again.
