They also seem concerned about pissing people off so I don't really see them moving Perez even though there is an argument that a catcher his age with that many knee surgeries isn't for long at that position and if he becomes 1B his value declines quite a bit. |

I hope the suck ass trade everybody for draft pick and prospect crowd is happy. Because you really don't need to do that in baseball unlike football and basketball, where you need the top pick.

Houston would like to disagree with you, the Cubs also...or the way the White Sox are rebuilding, tanking is the new way of baseball rebuilds.

They haven't done a great job with the draft, but part of that is the league neutered them by forcing everyone to go into the slotting system. Probably hurt the Royals as much as anyone else. Not that they've drafted as well as they could anyway... but going over slot helped them build an all-time farm system.
Of course, we also could be sitting here today with a rotation of Ventura, Duffy, Manaea and Junis and people would probably feel a lot better about the future of this team. It didn't work out that way. |

You don't have to tank if you draft decently during your run and don't completely empty your cupboards. Moore has been lost without top 5 picks (Moose, Hosmer) and without having the ability to spend way over slot on guys before the rule changed. Chicago and Houston won the World Series and are still in contention for several years after their championship. I'm so happy that we won the World Series, but it's a shame that the window was so short. I'm not so sure Moore is the one to bring us out of the mess again.

I however don't think I'd ever use the Yankees as an example for the Royals to follow. |
