"He has a great eye for talent and a proven track record in building a championship-caliber club. His experience in the game will be a tremendous asset to all aspects of Baseball Operations as we continue to work toward building a championship club."

This is obviously

a sinister move by DM and David Glass to skimp on major-league payroll by blowing $$$ on worthless front-office executives that do nothing to add value to a major league organization.

Sincerely,
Rob Neyer, Jayson Stark, and 2002

I hereby resign from this post.

If Arbuckle went to any other organization

Neyer would already have a blog post up saying how smart that team was.

Even better news

is that Arbuckle is a local guy. He grew up in Trenton, MO (north central part) about 2 hours away from KC.

I actually know his son-in-law, having worked with him at a community college in Trenton. This is a great thing for the organization as well as his family. Very exciting stuff!
