More from RealGM
 More Royals NewsDayton Moore is hoping to build a team in Kansas City in a fashion similar to the one he just left in Atlanta. "When I made a decision to take this job, one of the first people I met with was [Braves manager] Bobby Cox," Moore said. "He said, 'Dayton, that organization is similar to where we were in the mid-80s.'" With Cox initially planting the seeds as GM, and Schuerholz coming along from Kansas City later to make sure everything kept blooming nicely, the Braves have been a model for Major League success. That success has been augmented the last 12 years by Moore, who learned under Schuerholz and was widely considered a top young GM candidate when Royals owner David Glass came calling. "We're going to build our teams around pitching, pitching, pitching," Moore said, citing a proven Braves formula over the past one and half decades. "We're going to attract quality pitching and develop quality pitching within the system." |
