Dayton Moore Tells Fans to Trust the Process, Ignore Reality

One of my favorite things about Dayton Moore is how he's always right there to tell you how awesome he is.

Even though 2009 has long been a wasteland for the Royals as a team, there are a few players who are chasing personal records. There has been a lot of talk about Billy Butler’s chase of the Royals single season doubles record. Willie Wilson hit 54 doubles in 1977...

My reaction to yesterday's Yuniesky Betancourt trade was pretty similar to the reaction most people had.
"Wow, Dayton Moore is a terrible GM. Thank God I'm not a Royals fan."
There are just so many things wrong with the trade.

In the end, as was the case in 2008, the Royals sat on the sidelines at the trade deadline. The best trade chip the Royals had -- aside from doing a really smart thing and trading Joakim Soria -- was probably Brian Bannister. Bannister has now had two good seasons out of the last...
