Jose Guillen is a big drag on the lineup right now. The Royals ought to sign someone else and just man up and eat his salary.

Yes.
And Fields in RF. Guillen on the bench. It's a sunk cost. Don't make it worse by continuing to play him. |

Is this the Royals thread, or the "What are you drinking?" thread? Both?

Guillen, who turns 34 this year, is not a power hitter. He hasn't hit 30 home runs in 5 years (and only once in his entire career).
His OPS has declined each of the last three seasons. It was below league average last year for all players, which is sad for a player spending most of his time in RF and at DH. Only Bloomquist and Betancourt had a lower rate of offensive production for the Royals. His fielding declined significantly last year, 15 runs below average for an outfielder. All things considered, he does not deserve to be on a major league roster any longer. His contract is the only thing keeping him there. Replacing him in the lineup with a league average right fielder would probably be the biggest upgrade this team could make. |

Guillen cannot play this season. This should be Hillman's litmus test for common sense. I'd say Moore, too, but he's already failed.
If he plays, we have the three worst everyday players at their positions: SS, C, RF/DH. Surely, Hillman understands that Guillen is atrocious in every aspect of the game, right? Trey's incompetent, but no one can be THAT bad, right? |
