Mike Matheny is favorite for Royals managing job. KC is said to love its internal candidates, including also Pedro Grifol/Dale Sveum. But people outside the org are convinced Matheny has the inside track. One complication: an in-flux ownership situation could delay things.
Hearing that the @Royals managerial search is down to a very short list that includes Mike Matheny and Pedro Grifol. Cannot go wrong with either choice. Top-flight baseball people.
It’s going to be Matheny, gang. Hope Im wrong but that’s not just speculation. Sherman will let Moore make the call.
Matheny’s religion was a problem in St. Louis, if - as reported by credible people that cover the Cardinals - it led to favoritism for players who attended his bible study.
The other concerns are the way he runs his clubhouse - rigid and uptight is what I hear - and the way he treats young players - no trust.
Like I said, Moore is using up whatever rope he had left with me. [Reply]

I’m more concerned with him blowing through arms like he did in STL. He abused the crap out of his best bullpen guys (warming them up multiple times in a game) and blew out a bunch of arms. [Reply]

Fucking great. We’re now the Minnesota Twins. [Reply]
Daniel Lynch and Kyle Isbel both made the Fall League all Star team.
Isbel has been really good - more like the gutter we saw before the hamate injury. I still like him a bit more than the consensus prospect watchers... [Reply]
