Dayton Moore is the genius who built this team. Ned Yost was hand-picked by Dayton Moore to be his manager, and he is the perfect manager for this team.
If you want to say the Royals win primarily because of Dayton Moore, then I will agree with you whole-heartedly. He is a wizard at building an organization with a pipeline of prospects, building bullpens at the major league level, and signing productive free agents that nobody else wants. However, you simply cannot explain away or deny the impact Ned Yost had on the development of all of the young prospects into great players and, more importantly, into a great team. Does Ned occasionally make an in-game move that you can second guess? Of course he does. Show me a manager who doesn't. But that's not the point, because that's not where Ned excels. Ned excels at developing young players, giving them confidence, and then getting the hell out of their way and letting them play. Anyone who continues to believe that the Royals win despite Ned Yost rather than because of him doesn't understand the first thing about building a team. Moore and Yost have taken a small market team to back-to-back World Series. It's a remarkable achievement, and they BOTH deserve credit for it. |

Hopefully the same thing happens with John Dorsey and the Chiefs. However, we will never win with Andy. |

We could celebrate Ned Yost being the manager of the Royals by deleting this thread.
Mods, please??? |

But he did bring in Yuniesky Betancourt. TWICE! And let's not forget Trey "Gil Meche's pitch counts don't matter" Hillman. |

Ned is the Forrest Gump of MLB managers. Very happy for him, he earned it this year.

He should retire why he is ahead. No manager/team was ever more a beneficiary of comeback karma then this bunch. The Royals EASILY could have been sent home in the first round of the playoffs TWICE rather than have two World Series and a crown. Good fortune has certainly been on the Royals side the past two post seasons. However, as we all know, breaks eventually even out and the breaks will dissipate in the air as quickly as they came.

Ned's still pretty young, he'll probably go out when Dayton Moore goes out.
I do think Royals broadcaster Denny Matthews may retire now that the Royals won it all. |
