From 2003 to 2007, we paid this guy $11 million per year.
That's $55 million dollars.
During that stretch he only hit .300 one year, in 2005.
Games played:
2003: 108
2004: 106
2005: 122
2006: 60
2007: 74
He stole... STOLE.... $22 MILLION from KC those last two seasons.
Except for 2003 when KC finished 3rd in the AL Central, all of the other four years of Sweeney contract the Royals finished DEAD LAST in the AL Central, including 100 loss seasons in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
And they want this guy back because.....?
Why does he need to work? He already has $55 million Royals Bucks.
If he wants to dress up and be Slugrrr, OK. If he wants to run the carousel, OK. If he wants to be a greeter and serve milk and cookies in the Royals Hall of Fame, OK. But for God's sake, KEEP HIM AWAY FROM THE PLAYERS!!!
