Every fan and writer secretly wishes they could be the GM of their favorite team. In our heads we pick the players throughout the organization that would make the perfect lineup. Can't understand why management doesn't agree and have no patience for the team not making what we believe is the best decision. The truth is, we will jump on the bandwagon of the next hot player. We believe those in the way of the hot players, need to be pushed aside.

In the run up to the Royals World Series, almost every player who was critical to winning a championship, were thought to be a bust and we wanted them replaced at one time or another. Hos, Moose, Duffy, Davis, Etc, were the fodder of writers for their believed failures. Thankfully we didn't trade them off or replace them. Players like Dozier and Keller may yet be a bust, but we need to be careful of who we get rid of. Sometimes those are the players who have a critical role in latter success. I'm glad I am not the one who has to make those decisions.

Just read your article, i WANT Dozier to be good, but he doesnt have a position to play that separates him from the Isbel's, the Olivares on the team. Those guys have a glove that works, i call it an addition by subtraction. It's going to be interesting to see which way the Royals go with those three, because of the contract i say Dozier is the guy.
