Guillen to The Royals

by Sorbo182 on Dec 4, 2007 1:07 AM PST

dont know if anyone has heard, or posted this, yet, but mlbtraderumors.com posted that the royals have signed jose guillen to a 3 year, 36 million dollar contract. thank god we only see him for about 6 games now, less chance of him following through with his wishes to "kill all of the angels". this signing really does not make sense for the royals in my eyes. it seems like every off season, they sign one aging veteran, and i can never understand why

Seeing Jose in the rear view mirror

...he is just a speck now, there, jumping up and down and squealing with indignation... hope Percy beans him.

Gotta do something

Even before the steroid story, Guillen represented an underratated offensive force in a barren market of right handed hitters. In a full season, Guillen is close lock for about 25 homers, and a .274/.325/.447 Avg/OBP/Slug. But $36M over three years. Not so sure thats a bad deal now a days.

Those numbers are basically what Torii Hunter will give the Angels, and he'll be making $90M over the next 5 years. Sure Hunter brings the defense and a great attitude but I still think the Royals did well here. Is good defense and better leadership worth an additional 2 years and $54M? I don't think so.

im not saying

guillen isnt a quality bat, even if he has an ass hole, i just dont see how the royals think a 12 million outfielder will help them out, they need a lot more help than that
