It drives me crazy that can't miss guys like Trout and Harper are immediate difference makers while our can't miss guys like Moustakas and Hosmer are missing badly.

And I am so sick of the "they are young still, only 23" excuse. Both Trout and Harper are way younger and are absolutely raking.

It's worse that the answer is staring everybody in the face, and Glass just sits there. Sucking.

I would cry crocodile tears of joy if that group bought the Royals from Glass-hole.

I will likely be a grandfather at that point. FML.

To be fair, none of the Royals prospects has been considered in same league as those guys.

Bryce Harper is probably the surest thing as a position player since Ken Griffey.

Hosmer and Moustakas have still been horribly developed. Their ability to adjust without losing their strengths is just not there. It's become glaringly obvious over the past few months.

George Brett is new hitting coach per 610.

He was an asshole to everybody in baseball, thinking he had more figured out than anyone else, and then failed. On an epic level.

Hard for guys with that rep to get another chance.

I'd be all for a guy who's kind of an asshole, though. Dayton Moore, by all accounts, is a really nice guy who's a devout Christian. Let's go the opposite direction. An asshole atheist might be just what's needed (accountability, facts and data replacing the scout's eye and belief Dayton relies on).

LMAO

So we take those hitting coaches who are failing and send them to develop our players?

Can we just...fire them?

Oh yeah, and can George still play 3B?

I think that was J.P. Ricciardi who was the asshole.

Oh, for the love of Christ

You're right. I can't keep those two guys straight in my head for some reason.

I don't blame you. Billy's Moneyball boys, both failed as GMs ...
