Craig Calcaterra, on the inexplicable decision by the Kansas City Royals to extend the contract of general manager Dayton Moore:
Ask yourself: if you, in your own profession, made a mistake equivalent to trading for Yuniesky Betancourt, would you expect to be fired, or given five years of lucrative job security?I always wondered why people who were so successful in business- like Daniel Snyder, Tom Hicks, and Walmart CEO-turned-Royals owner David Glass- could be such blithering idiots when it comes to running teams.
