Joe Posnanski clarifies four-year-old Dayton Moore remark

Joe Posnanski now writes for a national audience at Sports Illustrated. But the former Kansas City Star columnist has not forgotten his roots, as he spends a disproportionate amount of his energy describing the tormented sports lives of Cleveland (his hometown) and Kansas City (his place of residence).

JoePo’s latest Dispatch From Miseryville considers the Royals’ acquisition of outfielder Jeff Francoeur. Posnanski says the transaction was “comically predictable” on account of the fact that Royals G.M. Dayton Moore knows Francoeur from their shared time in Atlanta. Also, Francoeur can’t get on base, an important skill Moore tends to overlook.
