I'd like to change some money http://wallpapers.in.net wallpaper ghost in the shell As for Yost, his supporters, first and foremost GM Dayton Moore, point to the Royals achieving their best record (86-76) since 1989 as sufficient reason for giving him an extension. “In a small way, I feel like we’ve won the World Series,” is how Moore put it at his end-of-season press conference last week. Say what? Here’s the bottom line: This is the 28th straight year the Royals haven’t made the postseason — seventh straight under Moore’s watch — and over the winter Moore did an excellent job in addressing their biggest weakness, starting pitching, with his trade acquisitions of James Shields and Wade Davis from the Rays and Ervin Santana from the Angels, and the signing of 15-game winner Jeremy Guthrie. The Royals led the American League in pitching and had one of the top closers in baseball in Greg Holland (47 saves, 1.21 ERA). Trading their top prospect, Wil Myers, for Shields and Davis, was an admitted risk (especially if Shields walks as a free agent after next year) but Moore felt he had to do it in order to make this the year the Royals finally made it back to the postseason. Yet, with the wild card still in reach, they went 3-3 against two of the worst teams in baseball, the White Sox and Mariners, over the last six games. And now, given the uncertain Shields situation, their window of opportunity could be shrinking and they’re going to need a big bat like Myers’ in the years to come.
