While I also am I’m tired of his bible beating... in this case, all character meant was “normal mode of operation/decision-making.”

Meanwhile in 7 out of Duffys last 10 starts he has given up 1 run or less. Any interest maybe brewing from other clubs?

What part of trading players from a shitty team to get future assets don't you understand?

Article about Jose Ramirez being a boss. Chances of ever having such an article written about a Royals hitter? I'd say slim to none. We haven't had a truly great hitter since the days of Dye, Damon, Sweeney, and Beltran. It's also amazing how we had all that talent then and still couldn't win. But, at least the front office then could find some real talent at the plate on occasion. |

So a single player means it isn't worse? Moore already had Greinke, Butler, and Gordon when he took over.

The Royals had those three players and then a barren wasteland after. The Royals system now is significantly deeper than it was in 2006. |

Well I hope you're right, but I have my doubts. I still think we're lacking in a lot of depth.

But I don't think it's a stretch to say the 2006 Royals were one of the worst systems in history. 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. |

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. Posted via Mobile Device |
