On Tuesday, the Kansas City Royals spent $36 million dollars on an average major league outfielder, former Mariner Jose Guillen. Was there a reason that the M's declined their $9 million option on the guy who called former manager Mike Scoscia a "piece of garbage"? Is this the same guy that was accused (one month ago) of taking performance-enhancing drugs? Does all this add up to $12 million per year?
Last year, when KC spent big bucks on (another former Seattle player) Gil Meche, I thought that they were moving in the right direction. But, this Guillen signing is just plain nutz. For that kind of money, the Royals could have signed a much better player (or perhaps two), and someone without all the baggage.
BANANAZ!!

I totally agree, every time I think the Royals are moving in the right direction, they do something like this. Not only do they screw up their own team, but the market price for mediocre, 32-year-old outfielders just went up.
Madness! Madness!
