What exactly does a boycott entail?

That's the real question. What do I mean by boycott. Here are the rules I've come up with so far, but I'd be willing to listen to any more suggestions:

-- I won't go to any games
-- I will watch the team on TV
-- I won't buy any Royals gear (shirts, hats, ect.)
-- I won't wear the gear I currently have
-- I will go to tailgate, if I want to
-- I won't pay for parking to tailgate (I will park across the street and walk over)
-- I will listen to critiques on the team
-- I will continue to read about the team, and watch the moves they make
-- I will comment on what I see the team do
-- I won't believe banter from the front office that is not backed up by action

Basically, the boycott entails cutting off any revenue I might produce for the Royals. Anything where I directly give the Royals money is off limits. I realize, that in a round about way, watching a game on TV helps produce revenue. However, this is necessary if I am to give the team a fair shake to show me they have changed their losing ways.

But like I said before, it's not the losing that really that cause the boycott. It is the terrible management by the front office. So what I really need is to come up with metrics for when to end the boycott.

The first, in my opinion, would be for the Royals to show that they actually understand the concept of on base percentage. This stat, above all others, is the most closely linked to run production. Now I'm aware it doesn't come as cheap as it did back when Moneyball first came out, but having a lineup that includes Guillen, Jacobs, Olivo and Betancourt shows that they Royals are completely ignoring the impact of OBP.

Miguel Olivo has 110 K's this year and only 10 walks

Second, the Royals have to show me they know what they are doing in the draft. It's only been 3 years, but picking Hochaver number 1 overall already looks terrible. As does taking Gordon number 2 overall in 2005 (although I have to admit everyone liked this pick at the time). Then in 2007 and 2008, we took players who are no where near big league ready, so it's hard to judge. Since 1988, the Royals only have 1 player taken in the first round who could be considered a great pick out of our 26 1st round picks. That player is Zack Greinke (2002), who is obviously amazing (and should win the Cy Young--but that's another post). Billy Butler (2004) does look like he's finally getting a hang of things, and could be considered a good pick as well soon. This year's pick, Aaron Crow, looks like he may not even sign.

Colt Griffin (2001 1st round pick) never made it to the majors

But I'm looking for more than just these two metrics. I'm just not sure what solid metrics to put with this. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
