A look a former GM John Schuerholz

Back in October of 2019 I did a piece ranking the Royals General Managers from worst to first. Dayton Moore, ranked #4 of 6, still had three years left on his tenure and did nothing in those years to make me feel compelled to move him up. Cedric Tallis, in my view, was the best General Manager the Royals have employed. He built the infrastructure of an expansion club, and his player moves took them to the cusp of the playoffs back when you had to beat the reigning World Series champs (Oakland) and win your division to get in.
