A million problems in need of solutions and potential problems in need of prevention tug at Dayton Moore as he marches into a small room on the fourth floor of Kauffman Stadium.
Being the general manager of a Major League Baseball team is more setup than show, more prepwork than performance.

He is transfixed.
