Well, if Matheny lays as big an egg as I expect he will, it’s probably the end for him and Dayton Moore. So there’s that.
Hope it happens before Matheny ruins a bunch of young players/pitchers and before the team’s rep takes a hit that makes it harder to hire a quality GM. [Reply]
I’m simply pointing out Matheny won’t win anything here. So the folks predicting he will fail are virtually guaranteed to be right. It’ll be a shock if they aren’t! [Reply]
You really are clueless. John Sherman and Dayton Moore benefit the most by this hire. They’ll watch their moron fan base spend the next 3+ years wailing about Matheny and blaming him for the poor records, when in fact it’s Dayton Moore’s fault entirely.
And in the offhand chance a miracle occurs where we turn into Tampa Two? Even better! They made a gutsy hire fans hated - and were vindicated. [Reply]
Gordon was hyped as the next Brett. But really, he was the next Frank White (plus a little more offense. White doesn’t have anything to match Gordon’s 2011-2015 span). [Reply]
Some interesting predictions there from a baseball prospectus guy. If Strasburg goes to the Padres that team will make some serious noise though. [Reply]
Did I read that Grifol is staying with the team on Matheney's staff as a part of the entire staff coming back, sans Sveum or were they that specific? I'm trying to find the article where I thought they mentioned that. [Reply]

Don’t everyone line up at once to buy season tickets with the prospect of Tanner Roark and Sergio Romo leading the 2020 Royals to a World Series title. [Reply]
