I thought it was a risky move for them to put Shaw at 2B, but apparently they're thinking of putting Moose there too.

Reminds me of the Teahen experiment.

Moore has previously targeted 2021 for when the Royals likely could push for the playoffs, but he has steadfastly refused to purposefully tank. Despite that, the Royals’ record this season is indicative of a team not trying to win. But Moore clearly doesn’t want triple-digit-loss seasons. The Royals drafted a cadre of college pitchers and traded Mike Moustakas for players who could help the team sooner rather than later. That would be the case if another team came calling for Duffy or Merrifield after the season. “If we end up moving any of our players like that, that we have under control that are of value to us,” Moore said, “it’ll be something we look at in the offseason and how can we get back major-league talent to help us win more games in 2019 and 2020.” This seems like a huge mistake to me. If they hold on to Merrifield and Duffy simply to win a few more games next year when we won't contend, how can that be supported by anyone? And if they trade them for near major league ready talent, how is that any different than the Beltran trade getting Teahen, Buck, and Wood? Rushing the rebuild is a huge mistake IMO. I really hope Moore isn't that dumb. |

I'm fairly impressed with the re-stock, actually. IF any of the pitching pans out, in this division, it's possible that they could be competitive next year with a little luck. Not likely, mind you, but possible. They're adding a lot of speed and defense. The offense is coming along. It's really the pitching that's still the dumpster fire.

Dayton Moore is desperately trying to not lose fans, that's what all that is about.
Is tanking better in the long run? Probably but he's also been here for so long maybe he thinks if they suck for 4 years his job security will become an issue? Who knows it could be a number of things. |
