Yes. It would be nice to know how much he's actually making a year. It's hard to imagine he's clearing more than $10 million/year, but who knows?

Maybe we can hire a Batman-type to intimidate the Glasses into selling. Anybody know that guy?:cuss:

Reports were the Cerner group about purchased them last year.

Feels like a PR move, all the way down to the interim tag.

Oh, and just what a young player needs....more voices in his head telling him to adjust this and transfer that and load there. Fine, Brett. Don't need anyone else; there has to be a consistent message (and the message can't be there's no reason to try to hit home runs). I have to think that interview yesterday was the death knell for both hitting coaches.

Charlie Lau worked miracles with a young Matthew Broderick.

Anything to deflect away from the true problem. Dayton Moore.

Yeah, had heard that about him, but not DePodesta. Only thing about DePodesta is I remember reading something about his character being written out of Moneyball and replaced by a composite character for some reason.

DePodesta didn't give them permission to use him.

Desperate and meaningless move is desperate and meaningless.

Wake me when DM is fired.

Cosmetic move is cosmetic

George's first rule of order. Every inning you don't hit a home run I have to take a drink.

Probably true.

Hosmer still can't get around on a fastball, but at least he'll be able to square up that 8ball.

So, I get why they needed to make a change with the hitting coaches, but seriously, George Brett?

George is great in the Spring to encourage and help out when needed - figure head/spokes model type. He is NOT ever going to be a great coach of any kind. It's not in his makeup. He loved playing baseball, but he does not like coaching it. This is just ****ing stupid, and makes the Royals look desperate....................okay, I guess that they are desperate. Still. if you have broken leg, you don't take Advil to get better. You take Advil to smooth over the pain. We still haven't addressed the broken leg.
