Probably more like Ed Wade, Chuck LaMar or Jim Bowden

I agree, but I don't know that Glass has the patience for yet another rebuild. Despite our collective frustration, we're still better than we were 8 years ago. That shouldn't be enough, but starting all over has to be daunting for Glass.

I'm all for poaching from either the A's or Cardinals.

Outside of pro basketball its the most Jimmy and Joe sport, than Xs and Os. If we replace it need to be from top down. General Manager is the more important position in baseball.
As they talked about on Hardball Sports... the problem with Yost is not one specific strategic decision... it's that he's so wishy-washy and changes tactics so often.

It's the equivalent of a blackjack player who decides on each hand whether to hit on 16 or not, rather than having a plan and sticking to it.

Also... who knows what will work in terms of poaching another assistant GM...

Short of luring Beane or Friedman away from their respective locales, I wouldn't be confident in anything working until I saw it working...

And I will also say... keep the international scouts in place. That's the one area of the organization that really seems to be pulling its weight of late.

Course I think at this point we all realize we're talking about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic as it relates to Yost's decisions. Our problems are systemic and already embedded by the time they get to Yost on the big club.

The Royals need to find their Carl Peterson/Marty Schottenheimer combo. This team has the feel of the 1986 Chiefs or so. Talent is in place but need the right leadership to take them to the playoffs.

Would a real good gm candidate want to come here..? Grifol was all pregame prep last season ...I think he sucks

Hey, neither Carl or Marty are doing that much right now. Put Carl in the GM's office, put Marty in the dugout. What could happen?

There is only 30 jobs out there. This one isn't that bad. You get this franchise back to the playoffs you will have Carl Peterson type job security.

Hey in some positive news my Sox just swept the Indians :)

30 ****ing years. I don't know how you youngsters do it. I can remember the glory years. I can't imagine being 30 and only rooting for this pile of shit. They make the Chiefs look like gods.

We were good the year of the strike and I remember George's 3000 hit. The rest not so good.
