The Kansas City Royals today named Mike Arbuckle the Senior Advisor to the General Manager/Scouting and Player Development. Arbuckle joins the Royals after spending 16 successful seasons in the Philadelphia Phillies organization, culminating with a World Series Championship last month.

"We are extremely delighted that Mike has decided to join our organization," said Dayton Moore , Royals’ Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations and General Manager. "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."

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!

Best Move of the Off-Season

(provided that he has SIGNICANT influence over the organization come draft day)

Good move

Maximizing the scouting talent. This is the kind of low-cost, high-return move teams like the Royals need to make.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

The A's Went

From Philly to KC, and that worked well.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Fantastic news

Wow. The Royals made the logical, smart move for once.

In a ridiculously old reference

I’m going to nickname Mr. Arbuckle “Fatty”

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
