  • Steve Phillips has some advice for the Royals.
Steve Phillips, the former New York Mets general manager and noted adulterer, has a plan to rebuild the Kansas City Royals.

In the latest edition of Fanhouse's "Steve Phillips' Fix My Team," Phillips spends four minutes musing on how he'd right the boys in powder blue, which pretty much amounts to keep the big hitters (Alex Gordon, Yuniesky Betancourt and

Billy Butler), keep Joakim Soria, and trade Zack Greinke to Toronto or the losers of the Cliff Lee sweepstakes for prospects. Wow. Must have done a ton of research. 



Of course, Phillips says it's just the beginning of a plan that won't pay dividends until 2013, '14 or '15. The advice comes from a guy whose name was once mentioned for the general manager's seat that Dayton Moore ended up filling in 2006. Maybe this is his latest audition tape.

I'm not sure I'd take advice from a guy with a history of affairs, including an affair with a 22-year-old production assistant while serving as a baseball analyst for ESPN, and bad trades. Not a man known for using his best judgment.
