Mr. Jose wants Traded
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3509805
Source: Relationship with Hillman in tatters, Guillen wants out of K.C. By Enrique Rojas ESPNdeportes.com (Archive) Updated: July 29, 2008, 3:37 PM ET * Comment Left fielder Jose Guillen wants out of Kansas City pronto, according to a source who spoke to ESPNdeportes.com on condition of anonymity. Guillen feels the Royals have not kept the promises made when he signed for three years and $36 million during the offseason, said the source. But the main reason he is in "living hell in Kansas City" is a foul relationship with manager Trey Hillman. "Guillen and Hillman are not on speaking terms, they don't talk," said the source. "Guillen is definitely not happy, he's not comfortable and he would do anything he can in economic terms to ease his way out of Kansas City." When Guillen signed with Kansas City he knew the team wouldn't be a contender in 2008, but he was promised that moves would be made to build a winning team in 2009, said the source. The 32-year-old is leading the Royals with 14 home runs and 69 RBIs, but he has been nursing a groin injury that kept him out of the lineup on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Guillen's bat could help a number of teams in the race for the postseason, but Kansas City has not shown any interest in trading him. The source said Guillen is ready to defer his salary for 2009 and 2010 if it helps increase his value on the trading block. Enrique Rojas is a reporter for ESPNdeportes.com. |

Can you blame the guy?
Fans boo him, call him names, while they cheer for complete scrubs like Teahen. This town like I said would rather have nice guys than guys that are good. |

Get him out of the fish bowl of KC and he'll thrive in a more player-friendly market.

First of all Guillen is not a good player, he's remarkably average.
He has an .OBP of 286, FFS, that's just awful. He's a clubhouse cancer who is making 4 times what he should. There's a reason why he's been on almost 10 teams, why he was deactivated by the Angels for trying to fight the manager, and why he never lasts more than a year anywhere. This is who he is, and to be perfectly honest, it shows how inept Moore is in bringing in free agents.

If he's going to get a bruised labia over a few booos, then I say good riddance.

Please, hes batting like .160 this month. He's old and a whiny douchebag. Butler is far and away better since coming back from omaha, imo. Whether or not he can maintain that remains to be seen.

That's fine but you gotta admit he's taken way more than his fair share for being on this garbage team and pretty much just bitching that he doesn't accept losing....
