Well... I really like the steps forward the Royals have taken this year. I think a lot of that credit is due to Dayton Moore. Granted he inhereted some of the young talent, but he has had his share of adding to it.
A lot of his moves took a beating around here in these diaries:

Sisco, Burgos and Dotel brought some pretty nice players in return with the outgoing players not producing much to where they ended up. After re-reading some of the posts in those links, I don't know if there's enough crow to go around in some of these cases. Meche still has a bit to do to justify that much money, but I still like the signing as much as I did when it happened. Had he gotten some run support this year - he may be closing in on a 20 win season right now. He had to overpay to get him there, but when you're in KC....
