Fixing the Royals

— kingsofkauffman.com — If you read my last post, you know that I have already fired Trey Hillman and have... named John Gibbons interim manager of this team. Why should I stop at just the manager? If I were GM of the Royals, and what a wonderful world that would be, this is how I would proceed. First off I need to ... (more) Fixing the Royals

Odds & Ends: Royals, Pirates, Hinske
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com — ... Joe Posnanski gives an in-depth look at the problems facing the Royals. "The Royals execs are smart people. But the more they do to this offense, the worse this offense gets," he says. ...

BASEBALL: Not Working
Baseball Crank — ... Joe Posnanski ponders, at his usual length, how the apparently knowledgeable people running the Royals ended up - through a combination of poor decisions, lack of resources and bad luck - taking a very bad offensive team and making it progressively worse each of the past two seasons. ...

KC Masterpieces: How Did That City Get All Those Excellent Sportswriters?
Can't Stop The Bleeding — ... My original idea with this post was to link to Posnanski’s recent, lengthy stem-winder of a blog post on how the Royals have managed to spend more money to get an offense that somehow keeps getting worse. Which, okay: mission accomplished! But Posnanski’s piece, which I loved despite (or because? mirroring) the fact that it falls somewhere between exhaustive and exhausting, is hard to excerpt — it’s too detailed, too analytical, too unstructured.

Royals Review — ... Oh, and what a coincidence. Here's a long Poz/JoePo post talking about how the offense has declined the last three seasons (funny, I've heard someone else say something about that FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS) only Poz concludes by just saying, "well isn't that funny" or something to that effect.

The Firing Squad: Dave Owen Edition
Kansas City Royals — ... I then read the brilliant Posnanski, who pointed out the Royals - as a team - are a horrific base running club.  Poz isn't breaking any news telling us that.  We've watched.  We know that this team is horrible on the bases.   ...

A Note on My Criticism of Posnanski
