They're hoping he'll turn out like Gil Meche who ended up being one of the better signings last FA period.

Good signing

really? im not too sure, seems like a lotta cash. but ig uess they gotta overpay to get people to play there. on a different note: wasnt guillen rumored to be involved in some sort of steroid/hgh thing? if so, then its def. too much money

Holy ####. I thought it was a 3yr, 12mil total contract (4mil per). I agree 12mil per is waaay too much for this HGH freak.

Yeah, I saw that at first as a 4 mil per contract and thought it was a DAMN good signing. Now however....:meche:

I like it only because it shows that David Glass is continuing to show he will spend money to get better. The money does not matter to me. If we overpaid him, big deal. I would rather overpay to get a guy than having my team's brass sit on their hands watching other teams get better.

If Guillen does not pan out, yeah it was a bad investment, but you don't hear people complain about signings like Carl Pavano or Jason Marquis, etc. -- mistake signings by teams with supposed more room for error.

Now, I hope they go after Silva or Andruw Jones and keep the talent acquisition going. Adding to a good young core of Teahan, Butler, Gordon, Greinke, Bannister, etc.

The Royals just got BETTER, so I don't see why anyone would have a problem with the signing.

You dont? People laughed at both those deals when they were signed. Marquis moreso than Pavano.

FWIW, Meche turned out to be one of the better signings for the money out of last years FA pool.
