Dayton Moore makes a move that looks like the Royals of old all over again. Just a couple of weeks from stealing another year of service time from Billy Butler, he calls him up on May 1 to give a spark to a team with a struggling offense, who, oh by the way, is careening towards another 100 loss season. So, why deprive the team of him in his year 27 season in favor of maybe giving a little life to the team when he's 21? Stupid. Just stupid. Then again, so was giving Alex Gordon the keys to the starting third base spot a few days into spring training. Again, make these guys earn it a little at AAA before rushing them to the majors and proclaiming them the next great savior.
