If Glass can blame Dayton, then Dayton will just blame Frenchy and others. Reality: Everyone is to blame.

No, Dayton cannot blame Frenchy and others because Dayton ****ing Moore is the reason why these suck shit players are on the team.

As I've been saying for, literally, years, DM is one stupid mother****er and has no business being the GM of a professional team.

This!!!

Who hired him?

How is Moose "young"? He is in his 3rd year and turns 25 in September. In Brett's third year he won a batting title (.333) at age 23.


Yes one is a HOFer and one is a smelly turd. I get that. Just pointing out its nothing to do with age.

Luke Hochevar

RE-signed 1 yr $7M



That pretty much sums up how I feel about Dayton Moore. You know he can't be a starter in this league. So a move to the pen is really the only option, yet you can't stick him in there when the game is on the line either, and with our pathetic offense/lack of run support, pretty much every game we've been in has been on the line. So he can only pitch when we're up by a lot (4+ runs) and there's no reason left to keep the SP in the game, or when the game is out of reach and he's in there for garbage duty.

Yup...$7M for that guy....when we could have just let him walk. I would have paid him half of that just to go away forever.

I thought he was making 4.5mil?

7 mil?

Yordano Ventura has been promoted from AA to AAA

He is. Consider the source.

He's ready. Last 10 games:

52 2/3 innings
69 K
20 BB (most troubling thing with him - must cut his walk rate to pitch deeper)
34 H

2.22 ERA
1.03 WHIP
11.8 K:9
3.5 K:BB

It appears his arm is so elite, even the Royals poor, cookie-cutter minor league system hasn't been able to ruin it.

Wade Davis better start performing soon, or he's going to find himself back in the bullpen.

The Royals have $12 mill total tied in up Hoch and Frenchy this year. Ouch. $7.5 for Frenchy, $4.5 for Hoch.

Brought this up in the other thread but where the **** is Sal Perez?

Bereavement leave for his grandmother, I heard he'll be back for tomorrow's game.

Hochevar: $4.5 million
Francoeur: $6.5 million
Chris Getz: $1 million

Together, they make the same amount as Ervin Santana.

I won't criticize signing Frenchy in the first place, because they needed a RF and he looked like a decent stopgap, even at that salary. Refusing to cut bait with him at any point (and letting him influence the decision to dump Seitzer) is a huge mistake and indicative of the extreme loyalty Dayton has (and is held back by). Still would have been better if year 2 had been a team option (even though we know Dayton was going to pick that up regardless).

Bruce Chen is making $4.5 million, but I'm not going to complain about that. He's worth it, and probably should be starting instead of Wade Davis at this point.
