Dayton Moore is bad at every aspect of his job right now, not sure you should expect any better. He doesn't draft well, doesn't sign players to contracts well, and doesn't trade well. A team like Boston or NY would have fired him already, even 3 years after a world series.

That being said, even the shitty major league hitters (yes, I’m talking about you Esky) can hit a straight fastball with no movement. The sad thing about the tanking angle is I really don’t think that’s it. Ned, for some ungodly reason, really seems to believe in this guy and his ‘stuff’. It’s truly mind boggling. |

@BHIndepMO: A year ago tomorrow, the Royals trade Matt Strahm and a minor leaguer for Trevor Cahill, Ryan Buchter, and Brandon Maurer.

You guys are really turning into a pitchfork wielding group. Yikes.
That trade has worked out horribly, there's no doubt, but at the time the team was sitting in a playoff spot, was on fire, and had a huge gaping hole in the rotation and needed some bullpen help. People were not happy that we were continuing to run Travis Wood out there, we needed another reliable starter, and we needed more bullpen depth beyond Minor and Herrera (who was not having his best year). They acquired a starting pitcher who was pitching well, and two relievers who were under team control for a long time, in Buchter's case about as long as Strahm although he was a lot older. Funny part is Cahill and Buchter are now pitching really well and doing exactly what we wanted... for the A's, who are in the playoff chase. On the bright side, we turned Buchter into Fillmyer, who as we saw tonight, has looked pretty good so far. |

Most of the bad trades he's made have been made to dump guys he's signed to bad contracts... Moss, Soria, Wood, etc. |
