It doesn't matter how long the window is open so long as you jump through the effing window when it is open and that's what the royals did

so Royals fans shouldn't GAF what happens for another 25 years, and then we can start to want them to be good again?

no one said that dude good grief. you said you would've been pissed knowing the Hos/Moose years landed only 3 winning seasons, and we all pointed out that that is completely backwards way to look at the last 6 or 7 years of Royals baseball.

Of course we should expect winning before another 25 years pass. Goodness SWC

I think it will probably take somewhere around 10 years with good management. Maybe a couple of years shorter, maybe a couple longer, depending on luck.

if they sold everyone this year (everyone), it wouldn't take 10 years.

Also, as a small market team that gave up a fair amount of prospects to get zobrist and cueto, the only rebuild that would be worth a damn is a complete rebuild

this is correct. It's why I hated the Davis trade.

winning 2 AL pennants and 1 WS makes it worth it, yes, but again if all you told me back in 2004 that we were going to tank for 9 years for 3 winning seasons i would be mad.

They will have no world series rings to show for it.

Well if we lose now, it's on Duffy. We gave him a lead. Let's see if he can pitch.

Come on Duffy. You know these Royals won't be giving you more than one rub.

Pitching being exposed by the white socks. Never would have guessed that.

6 for 50 with 24 SO.   This month can't get over soon enough for him and Hosmer.

We've swapped Morales for Moss, and replaced Ventura with Hammel. That's an epic fail. As much as the roster got worse from '15 to '16, its gotten worse from '16 to '17. Hammel has never gotten anyone out in the AL and Moss is a softball player. This is a .500 roster IF Gordon, Esky and Moose return to '15 from. Worse if they dont.

The only upgrade is Soler in Rf.  And that's an upgrade over a platoon situation. Face it folks, we mortgaged the organization in '15 to win the World Series, and are going to be mired with dogshit pitching for the foreseeable future.

Early Moss hate  :shakesfist:

Rany was on today and said things are so gloomy for Hosmer, that he could see him doing a qualifying offer from KC. I think he also said or he may have to do a 3-4 year deal. Soren was just like "Wow".  Then some BB insider on ESPN today was projecting Hos getting a 4 yr 60M deal.

IDGAF what payroll is or was, but the fact that it decreased this season makes these moves even worse.

And the fact that Dayton wasn't "planning" on replacing Ventura doesn't excuse the fact that we have two average starters and a battery of washed up tweener starter/long term reliever guys we're praying to god can use up 170+ innings (with no HGH to clean up).

There were better options at every spot we knew, and have known, needed replacement, and DM fell flat on his face replacing them through organizational development, trades or FA acquistion.

You can Rany Dorkzerly the analysis in terms of dollars all you want, and WAR. It doesn't excuse the lack of foresight. Fact is only 10 guys play at once, and our 10 on any given night is bottom half (maybe third) of the AL. Rany was a real tard when DM was building something, and he's a real tard about how great it looks crumbling down.

Man, so prophetic
