The best thing about this season is Perez is in the Home Run Derby.
He's going to win it, too. If he doesn't have to worry about it being a ball, there is no looking back for Perez. He would be my odds on favorite to win it.

I disagree, he is just reporting what he thinks will happen, not what he wants to happen.
He has been pretty clear in that he would like to see sweeping changes with the development of our players.

Random, pointless stat for the Arizona Royals fans.... the Royals' comeback the other night got me wondering.... prior to Tuesday night, the last time the Royals and Diamondbacks won on the same day was 6/1, a span of 28 games when they played on the same day.

I'm not trying to apologize or defend except where I feel people are being unreasonable or maybe aren't seeing the whole picture.
What I want to happen is different from what I think will happen. I've been very clear and transparent from the first hint of Matheny becoming manager that I think this is a huge mistake, a mis-step, and that Moore is putting his job on the line (for me) with this hire. If they stick with Matheny and this staff without changes, I want a cleaned house top to bottom. They stick with Matheny and make staff changes, I think it's time to remove Moore from that part of the decision process and move him upstairs, where his strengths can still be valuable (culture, investment in scouts, etc.). Even if it works. If they can Matheny and flip over the whole staff, I'll give Moore some credit. I don't believe he has it in him to take that approach. But we'll see. My historical defense of Moore has been based on a few legs: 1) How much of a task he inherited 2) How successful he was in "fixing" what he inherited 3) How hard it is for a market like KC to actually win a WS, let alone make it to 2 4) The success rate of GMs. It's not easy to get that hire right. 2)

We've been shitty at developing starting pitching for a long time. A very long time.
Starting pitching was SUPPOSED to be what fueled the 2015 'best farm system ever destined to be World Champions' club. It wasn't. Duffy and Ventura were the only guys that worked out, really. They need to make some organizational changes. |

Moore seems to really like Matheny in a personal sense. Given the org's "family" outlook on things, I'd expect him to get a very long leash. Maybe even longer than Bob Sutton.

I feel like a bad manager has a more negative impact on a team than a good manager has a positive impact if that makes sense.

No doubt he isn't losing on his own. My argument would be that he and his below-average staff are making things worse than they can be. A good manager might help you pull an extra win or two. A bad manager who makes his team play tight, doesn't organize appropriately, and burns his bullpen (it sure looks like Matheny still doesn't pay attention to whether he's warming guys up too much in the pen) can certainly hurt you.

The Royals developmental system is terrible, it has been for a long time. The guys having constructed this is at fault. Draft all you want at the top of the draft, it doesn't matter because we can't do anything with that talent (for the most part). The very few guys that DO develop are doing so in spite of the organization, or were acquired later in their development (Cain)
