The funny thing is despite that the Royals had the 6th highest tv ratings last year. |

We're a shitty team and people aren't going to the park. What a shocker! I guess with Escobar no longer on the team, you had to find something to gripe about. |

I think it's an interesting comparison between the Royals/Dayton Moore and the Mariners/Jerry Dipoto. The Mariners traded pretty much everyone and their mother this past offseason, compared to the slow and steady approach of Dayton Moore. The Mariners had probably as bad of a farm system as Kansas City as recently as last year, but right now they seem to have surpassed us and are near the top 10 depending on which rankings you look at. They're also off to a fast start and demolished us last night. It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but I can't exactly say I favor the job Moore is doing over what Dipoto has done.

Based on recent history, I think its fair to say that Glass will spend when it's time to spend. Basically when the team can prove that they can consistently be competitive w/o the spending (i.e. scouting and developing solid young major leaguers), he will add the spending to help get them over the top or to compete for a division title.
They are nowhere close to doing that with this team now. The soonest we can probably hope for is 2021 or 2022. Most of the young talent is in High A ball. At that point, Whit (assuming he's still around) and Mondi will be the 'veterans' of the team. |
