I'd say that worked out pretty well for him/them.
Not saying DM is Lundhow, just pointing out that sometimes you need to bottom out for a while to successfully rebuild, especially for small market teams.
The issue with the Royals has been mainly scouting and development (and a little bit of bad luck). Obviously, Houston has been better with those. But the Royals last 2 drafts have looked pretty solid. Will see how that plays out in the next couple years . . . . .

That isn't the same situation though, Lundhow literally tanked on purpose by selling anything and everything of value. He tanked on purpose to get high picks, Moore if he were Lundhow would have dealt off Perez and Merrifield now.
