20 Questions With BDD’s David Golebiewski Posted by Brian Joseph on Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 8:56 pm How long would it take you to get the Kansas City Royals to the playoffs and what would your first three moves be? Oh boy. 2032? My first three moves would be: 1.) Tell Yuniesky Betancourt that the 2010 season has been canceled. 2.) Stop signing marginal veterans on their last legs, and identify some disfavored prospects (say, a Chin-lung Hu or a J.R. Towles) as trade targets. 3.) Take a hard look at how my organization quantifies both offensive and defensive performance. Kansas City has shown an alarming tendency to sign guys with shiny RBI totals (Jose Guillen, Mike Jacobs) and an allergy to walks. Those two deals, plus the Betancourt trade, also seem to indicate a flaw in evaluating defense. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I get the feeling that RBIs and fielding percentage hold way, way too much value in K.C. http://is.gd/9zuUq --
