The Henry Wiggen Blog crunches the most important baseball numbers that fanboys and stat geeks ignore: "If you look at Forbes’numbers for the Royals you see something stunning. If I’m reading the list right, the Royals are in second place. Yes, second place in operating income, what most of us non-accountants refer to as profit. Only the Cleveland Indians scored more operating income in 2011. The Indians: $30.1 million profit squeezed out the surging Royals’ $28.5 profit."

Its not hard to see how the Royals are profitable - they have a bunch of young players who cannot negotiate as free agents nor are they eligible for arbitration. In five years the same players will command 10 times their current salaries and mostly will not be in KC.
ReplyDeleteAnd THAT'S why (unfortunately) David Fucking Glass will NOT sell the team.
ReplyDeleteHe is ONLY interested in the money.
Until KC starts an effective boycott (so as to damage Glass' income), Glass will have NO INCENTIVE to make the team competitive.
So long as the fans (suckers) keep tolerating a consistently less-than-mediocre level of talent, and perpetually losing record, the (shitty) team we have is the one we're gonna have.
This has been the case for about 15 years, and it will stay that way until Glass stops being Glass.
