My God, why wouldn't you?
Have you seen the offseason he’s been having? It’s guys like him that depress the hell out of me as a Royals fan. It’s like watching some other guy’s kid win a national 12-and-under chess tournament…and then you look over at your own kid to see him almost swallow the checker he was chewing on.

I did laught out loud at this one.

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.
And this:
“When he got hired, there was some pessimism,” Dave Cameron said. "He’s bald, he’s a scout – he looked like the Bavasi template for a GM. A significant amount of people thought the Mariners had just hired Bavasi 2.0. Then he comes in, hires Tony Blengino (a former CPA), establishes the Department of Baseball Research and shows that he’s open to things that are clearly not scouting based.
just makes me want to bash my head into my desk.

1950's buzzcuts for everyone in the front office are part of the process

They do -- here's a recent photo
The Royals full-time sabermetricians work hard with Bravulator 5000 to calculate how many game-winning RBIs they need to get from right field to win 73 games in 2010.
I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at FanGraphs.

I'm pretty sure the Royals actually use WOPR
and came to the conclusion, “The only way to win is not to play at all!”
this is now green

Have you read anything about this Dayton Moore guy?
The only “research” the Royals need is what’s in his head and what’s on his scouts’ notepads.
