Yeah, for the last 5+ years, they have been working to get us on the right track.

That is disheartening. I was hoping for more out of our new owner.

Sherman’s comment are a step backwards.

To me, that sounds like both Dayton and J.J.'s jobs are safe. But it sounds like Matheny and his coaching staff, particularly Eldred, are officially on the hot seat now (if they already weren't).
Sounds to me like he's saying he expects J.J. and Dayton to make the changes that need to be made, and if they won't then he may step in. So discouraging that DM isn't going anywhere, but I'm cautiously optimistic that at least Matheny and Eldred will be sent packing sometime soon . . . . . . |

And to be fair Picollo is pretty well thought of in baseball circles. He had interviews for the GM jobs with Angels, Twins, Mets, Phillies, etc. Dayton probably needs to be bumped up to the Board of Directors position and coast into retirement. |

Gentry's development has been a real positive. He made some really nice strides in his offseason work with the Royals' hitting staff.
The recent success of the hitting prospects is one reason I think the front office can survive in some fashion. If that means that Piccollo basically stays in his slot, Moore is transitioned into a PBO role that has no on-field or draft/development decision-making powers (basically making him the business guy and someone who can focus his energies on the community aspects of the new ballpark development), that MIGHT be workable. If Piccollo's dotted line runs to Sherman and not Dayton. Bare minimum, though, Eldred, Matheny and everyone on the MLB staff not named Alec Zumwalt needs to go (except maybe Mitch Maier, though I think he has been re-assigned as a roving instructor). They need a new leader running pitching development and new blood in the system there. Basically, an Alec Zumwalt. Find the guy or gal in charge of that for the Indians and make them an offer they can't refuse to come do for KC what they have been doing for Cleveland. Cleveland won't match it, because the ownership is cheap.

You always make me feel like there is hope that Sherman will clean house, even when it's hard to see.

But in this one, I turned down the opportunity to go to scout school and pursue a career in baseball. At this point, I don't have the decades of honing my expertise that I'd need to be effective.
