KANSAS CITY -- One of the key elements to managing Ned Yost has learned since he has been with the Royals is trusting his coaching staff.
It wasn't always that way. Yost admits he used to be fairly stubborn in his decision making.
But Yost has been employing the 3-on-1 rule for some time now -- if there is a big decision to make, he will confer with his coaches and if his potential decision is outnumbered by three of his coaches, he will bow to their thinking.
"I will go with what they're thinking, even though it's really not what I want to do," Yost said.
