It seems Dayton Moore's name has - like the Royals themselves - become more of a punchline in recent months, rightfully deserved or not.  I've been thinking about generating a poll asking this simple question for several weeks now, but have finally come around to carrying that action through.  Some may argue his questionable trades and free agent signings of recent months (and years) don't bear much significance, some believe they are a damning indicator of Moore's ruthless old school vulnerabilities, and few actually support every move.

I would like each RR poster to go on record as stating whether they would fire Dayton Moore right now.  If possible, provide explanations below.  What have been his strengths - I mean, his true strengths - if any?  And dwell on his weaknesses and let the punchlines carry on.....

Hey, I'm not sure if this has been posted here yet, but Calvin Pickering has now signed with the T-Bones for the '07 season.  Wonder if this could be his Jose Lima-like catapult back to the bigs.

I always thought Pick had an incredible amount of raw power.  His plate coverage and ability to hit the curveball were downright horrendous, but when he did make contact with the fastball, look out.  He would probably carry a AA-team, but that's just my opinion.  

Oh, here's the article.  Apologies if this has already been posted, but I couldn't find any.

A special thanks to B. Carlton, a poster over at the Yahoo! Royals List Serve, kcroyalsbaseball, for creating this year's desktop.

Visit the link attached for two pictures - the Royals 2007 collage and a nice picture of Kauffman Stadium.  So feel free to make these your customized backgrounds.  You can even print them out and distribute them throughout town.

Let me know how you feel.

Hey everyone,

I'm just wondering if there's any way I can obtain box scores and/or game summaries for the Royals' Spring Training games this Spring.  I'm not sure if MLB.com or kcroyals.com will provide this information.  Also, how can I find out which games will be broadcast on television and radio?

And is there a copy of the Royals practice schedule floating around anywhere?  I would love to get my hands on some of that information.

Anyone else here going to Spring Training?  I will be there March 15-18...I'm stoked.

RoyalsReview, I've provided a link to the t-shirts on my website.  It looks good so far.  How/where did you get them done?  And are we still meeting this summer for a Royals Review Day at the "K" (haha).  

Does PittsburghPA ever post on here?  That would certainly add to the festivities.

Hello fellow RoyalsReview readers,

I'm a longtime reader of this website and poster on many other Royals-related message boards, including RoyalBoard and the KCRoyalsBaseball Yahoo ListServe.  I am, of course, a lifelong die-hard Royals fan.

I have begun a new Royals bulletin/message board, called Royals Nation.  If possible, I would like to use many of the comments I read here and post them on the new site, with your permission, of course.  I hope many of you enjoy Royals Nation, and feel free to e-mail me at JRaider2005@yahoo.com and let me know how you feel, or tell me any improvements or changes you would make.  The link is below.

I hope all fellow RoyalsReview readers enjoy, and have a Happy New Year!
