The most disappointing thing is he was advertised as a "pitching guru" coming from the Braves and our rotation has sucked nearly ever year hes been here. Except for Grienke (who wasnt his) and a couple of years from Meche. Thats about it.

That's something that stood out to me in the Grantland piece:

But the cold reality is this: Dayton Moore took the job right after the 2006 draft, and six years later, not one pitcher he has drafted is in a major league starting rotation. And unless the Royals make a major splash in free agency or through a trade, there is no reason to believe their starting rotation next April will be any better than the one that has torpedoed this season. Moore knows this, and he also knows that excuses for losing are wearing thin on ownership. The only way out may be to trade a sizable chunk of his vaunted farm system this winter to acquire an established starting pitcher — which risks undoing all the good that Moore has done with the farm system to begin with.
