Dayton Moore’s explanation for not calling up Nicky Lopez makes little sense

Dayton Moore’s biggest flaw as general manager of the Kansas City Royals is that he just can’t stay out of his own way. Over the years, the Royals have made a dizzying number of unforced personnel errors that are no one’s fault but their own. Even if you’re a Moore apologist, you probably concede that these blunders are the reason why it took seven years to get to the playoffs in the first place, why the Royals’ competitive window turned out to be so short, and why the Royals have only one total division title in 13 years with the current front office group.
