Comment from a Seattle fan:

“This article really makes me want DDJ playing left for the M’s, we can just trade the Royals back what we got for Yuni, they might bite.”
I’d be mad, but it’s funny and not entirely wrong.

It's good to see a genuinely smart baseball mind recognize how good DDJ has been

I’ve read and heard from many baseball fans (mostly non-Royal fans) that DDJ is merely an OK OFer who wouldn’t be good enough to start on most teams. In short, those people either 1) aren’t familiar with DDJ, or 2) assume no non-Greinke Royal is any good, or 3) don’t really understand what makes for a “good” baseball player, performance-wise.

Wasn't this just

Yeah, I was confused by his comment myself

Unless d_f was a DDJ hater, and I don’t remember that.

Oh yeah, it's him

Like I said, a genuinely smart baseball mind.

So we blame d_f when another front office gets a hold of his post and takes GMDM to the cleaners?

I’m guessing Fangraphs isn’t bookmarked on Dayton’s machine and wouldn’t surprise me if it was blocked.

I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.

who cares

of course, this article is dumb anyways. he’s had ample time to “get rid” of DDJ if he wanted to, and went as far as to say he flat out wouldn’t trade him after his down year in ’07.

He now has orders from

his boss to "turn over " some of the roster. I believe this is the first time he has been given those orders.

And if that order meant trading DDJ for young guys who could contribute in 2 years

and cost what DDJ does now, it would be a smart order.
