Juan Francisco DFA'd by Braves....future Royal?

Fair enough. I think the Royals would greatly benefit from having Rany at the table with his insight/perspective.

Alright, Paul DePodesta as GM, Rany on the leadership team as a consultant, and whoever they want to hire as manager.

Seitzer as manager?

I could roll with a bunch of names. I just know that De Podesta got screwed by the McCourt's in LA...smart, young, still hungry...and same frame of thinking as Rany. I would trust them to find a manager who knows how to put a lineup together and manage pitching.

I would love to see Dave Righetti get a long look.

How hard do the other managers laugh at David Glass after Glass leaves a conference room at the owner's meetings?

NO

Yes..

Throwing out names. Got a name?

LMAO

It does seem that your issue is drafting and developing talent, not getting a new hitting coach.

Hiring Brett means someday firing Brett. Maybe Frank White type hurt feelings occur. That would be a real tragedy.

No, but I know what won't work, and it's not Seitzer, Brett, White, etc. We need a guy that is interested in winning, and not just "protecting and developing the young guys". We need an ass kicker that expects us to win, and not be surprised by it.

It would indeed mean that were the move a "permanent" one. Not the case here. This is DM desperately trying to buy time to ensure that he gets to try to hire one more manager.

Couldn't agree more. Accountability.

I think I know what's wrong with the Royals coaching. They're only allowed to work 36 hours a week. See, they're not allowed to go over 40, because then, Wal-Mart would have to pay their health and dental insurance.

So our players don't get as much instruction as other teams do.

It's that simple.

Oh, and watch for Ned to show up in some Emergency Room with an ulcer, on the taxpayer's dime!

He shouldn't be allowed to some much as hire the new towel boy in the visiting team's locker room. He's failed at everything he's done in his Royal's tenure (okay, that's an exaggeration, but you get the point). He came in here taking over a last place team, and that is where we will most likely finish this year - year 7 of his shit tenure.
