Royals Undecided On Ned Yost's Future
Share All sharing options for: Royals Undecided On Ned Yost's Future
You would think the answer to the question of Ned Yost's future would be an easy one.
He took over for the Royals on May 14 when they were 12-23. Since then, he's got the Royals playing .500 ball which, in Kansas City, is quite a feat.
So is he coming back?
Royals GM Dayton Moore says no decision has been made yet (via Dick Kaegel of MLB.com).
"We're very pleased with the direction of our team, and we'll just make the decision at the appropriate time," Moore said. "I think he's done a terrific job. He's brought a renewed energy and a renewed expectation level to our team and our organization."
Moore declined to commit to Yost beyond 2010 saying he "can't comment on that right now for a lot of reasons."
Meanwhile, Yost is giving no indication that he's interested in going anyplace else.
"I can't think of one drawback. I love the city; I love the stadium; I love watching these kids; I love the front office," Yost said. "I love everything about it."
It's probably best for both sides to wait this thing out. It's only June and there is three more months of baseball to play. For Moore, the Royals could flop down the stretch and make his decision on Yost an easy one. For Yost, his name has been thrown out there as a potential candidate to replace Bobby Cox in Atlanta. Yost and Cox previously worked together for 12 years.
So what if the Braves comes calling? Would that hasten the Royals decision-making?
"Not necessarily," Moore said. "We've got to be concerned with what we do and focus on what we do here. It's challenging enough to manage through your own situation, let alone someone else's."

You want a TV for the kitchen so you can watch your favorite cooking show and whip together that roast like a professional, but which one do you choose? Whether you want something ultra portable for travel, a TV for your back patio for those hot summer nights or need a television for your RV, there is a portable TV to suit your needs! To help make sense of all the options, we have put together this shopping guide! Deciding just got easier.
Stand Mounted Portable TVs: These televisions stand neatly in your kitchen, back patio or those smaller guest rooms. Because they have bigger screens, they offer comfortable viewing in any size room or even as an added luxury item to your RV to make sure you never miss a game.
Ultra Portable TVs: Small, portable and perfect for traveling. These portable TVs will keep the kids entertained for hours in the car or on the plane. Designed for the lap, sometimes including a DVD player, you can take your favorite movie with you on any trip!
3.5 Inch Portable TVs: About the size of a smartphone, these are your most portable option. Handheld, they're small enough for the smallest purse and can even fit into your pocket. Whether you are on the train or travelling long distance, you will never miss the game or your favorite show.
7 Inch Portable TVs: With a bigger viewing screen, these offer comfortable watching sizes and are perfect for the car, camping, the RV, or long layovers at the airport.
9 Inch Portable TVs: The larger screen brings better viewing pleasure without losing portability. The 9 inch screen means viewing can be done without it needing to be on your lap, freeing your hands up for sewing or cooking.
13 Inch Portable TVs: Small enough for portability around the house but large enough for great viewing! 13 inch portable TVs often come with built in DVD players, making them very versatile and perfect for those smaller rooms or dorms.
Lightweight: Reviewers rate the weight of their televisions very highly. Portable TVs are small but choosing a lighter option will mean more comfortable viewing when holding your new handheld or lap TV. Compare weights of the top rated portable TVs above, to get a weight that will fit you comfortably.
Image quality: Portable TVs that are able to adjust image settings easily get much better reviews than those that don't. Being able to change brightness, saturation and the aspect ratio will mean far more viewing options in any light situation or movie formats.
Sound quality: Portable TVs with good speakers and added extras leave reviewers more satisfied. Checking reviews for TVs with better sound or checking specs for added extras like headphone jacks means you will be happier with your purchase and that no matter where you are, you will hear what you are watching perfectly.
Functionality: People cheer about their portable televisions that come with remotes and seem disappointed with ones that don't! TVs that come with remotes mean more more flexibility when the TV is not on your lap and offer a lot more convenience.
The smaller they are, the more portable they are! Handhelds are great to consider for lots of short distance travel. The larger lap models will be better for those longer car trips.
Choosing a rechargeable portable TV will cost you less in the long run for running costs. But if you are planning on travelling a lot and and won't have access to electricity outlets, going with a unit that uses replaceable batteries is most convenient.
Some rechargeable portable TVs come with an AC adapter for more flexible charging options.
US stations do not broadcast analog anymore, so buying a good quality brand with a digital tuner will prevent disappointment.
Want to do more than just watch streaming TV? Getting a portable TV with either a USB port or SD slot will give you lots more viewing options for your money! Playing video files is a great feature of your portable TV and definitely worth considering.
If you want more flexibility, choose a portable TV that comes with handy additional features. Optional stands allow you to place your TV when needed and free you up to do something while watching. A remote control adds a lot more convenience to your purchase!
Choose a quality brand with a good warranty to ensure long lasting viewing enjoyment.
Portable televisions with 16:9 aspect ratios mean you will be able to watch widescreen content correctly.
