I met Dayton Moore one time is his early years...I think it was 2010 at a breakfast.
he talked about having to build the team from the ground up. And that meant drafting well, building the minor league system; building the Latin American presence; not relying on free agency except for gaps...FAs coming off bads years or injuries,etc. We are loaded with that. But the core is through your system....Perez, Hosmer, Moose, Gordon, Ventura, Herrara and key trades Cain, Escobar, Davis.
I see KU in the same place except we loose our kids hopefully after their 5th year (or 6th year if their name is Shipley). We need to be able to RS everyone of our recruits as soon as possible. And that will not happen until 2017.
Moore said he had an eight year timetable to be competitive. I would take KU to be competitive for titles in year 8!
