Lesky’s Notes: The Royals got ahead of the market

Dayton Moore is definitely a general manager with tendencies. A player with exceptional athletic ability will always stand out to him and he will far too often give that player far too many chances to show that athletic ability doesn’t always translate to being a frontline baseball player. But one thing that I don’t know can be surmised from Moore is how he will attack a market. Sometimes, he strikes super early and the Royals end up with Mike Jacobs. Other times, he waits out the market and the Royals end up with Travis Wood, Brandon Moss and Jason Hammel.
