Dayton Moore Fantasy Baseball News, Notes, Rumors and Statistics
The latest Dayton Moore MLB and fantasy baseball news
Wed, 09 May 2012 09:28:31 -0700 Kansas City Royals 2B Johnny Giavotella is expected to be recalled from the minors and will likely join the lineup Wednesday, May 9. "He's another right-handed bat," general manager Dayton Moore said, "and we need another right-handed bat over the next several days with all of the left-handed pitchers we're expecting to face." The Royals may decide to place SP Jonathan Sanchez (biceps) on the disabled list because he's dealing with biceps tendonitis, which the team thinks might be the reason for his drop in velocity and effectiveness. If that happens, Ps Luis Mendoza, Nathan Adcock or Vin Mazzaro could be candidates for the rotation. Giavotella is a right-handed option, so he won't necessarily become the starter at second base. He was hitting .331 with five home runs and 25 RBIs in 31 games for Triple-A Omaha.
Sat, 13 Aug 2011 00:43:53 -0700 Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore expects negotiations with OF Bubba Starling, the fifth overall pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, to go right up to the deadline. "There's nothing -- there won't be anything until the final hour of August 15," Moore said in a phone interview.
Tue, 19 Jul 2011 01:23:36 -0700 Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore doesn't believe his team will do much at the trade deadline. "There's a lot of talk," Moore said, but he added: "I don't think we'll do much." Most trade speculation centers around OF Melky Cabrera, OF Jeff Francoeur and IF Wilson Betemit.
Sat, 30 Apr 2011 02:12:41 -0700 Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore is telling people to not expect any radical roster changes at this early stage of the season. "The philosophy is not going to change," Moore said. "The player has to perform, they have to have ability and there has to be opportunity. And right now, the sample size of performance isn't what it needs to be to have a comfort level in promoting players to the major leagues."
Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:35:12 -0800 Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore is focused on starting pitching as his top priority, according to MLB.com's Dick Kaegel. The team wants to bolster its rotation, but there are few free-agent options out there for Moore to consider. He has not ruled out a trade.
Tue, 07 Dec 2010 23:35:21 -0800 The Kansas City Royals are in need of a right-handed-hitting corner outfielder, according to The Kansas City Star's Bob Dutton. "We've got Alex Gordon, Gregor Blanco and Mitch Maier in our outfield right now," general manager Dayton Moore said, "and we have Jarrod Dyson competing. They're all left-handed hitters. So one could easily identify that we need a right-handed-hitting outfielder."
Fri, 12 Nov 2010 23:31:36 -0800 The trade of OF David DeJesus from the Kansas City Royals to the Oakland Athletics freed up $5.5 million on the payroll, but The Kansas City Star's Bob Dutton reports that will not automatically mean the money will be spent in free agency. "It's not cost effective at this time," general manager Dayton Moore said, "for us to be real aggressive with major-league free agents."
Fri, 14 May 2010 03:53:37 -0700 Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore praised former manager Trey Hillman earlier this week and said he was doing a terrific job, the Kansas City Star's Joe Posnanski reports. Therefore, the decision to fire him may not have been Moore's.
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:27:22 -0800 Dick Kaegel, of MLB.com, reports Kansas City Royals OF Jose Guillen (ankle, leg, back) is recovering nicely from offseason ankle surgery and other leg and back problems. "I've not spoken to him but our training staff has," general manager Dayton Moore said. "He's doing well, he's working out every day and he's in good shape according to what our medical people say. He's a terrific hitter. We expect him to be healthy and perform at his accustomed level."
Sat, 05 Sep 2009 06:12:15 -0700 Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore has announced that manager Trey Hillman will return for the 2010 season, according to The Associated Press.
