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. |

Well....there goes our shot at attracting the "higher level" free agents.
That said, after less than 2/3 of a season under a new 3-year contract....Guillen should shut up and continue to lead by example on the field. Keep the avg up and keep driving in runs (and keep your mouth shut)...and KC fans will stop booing. Andre Rison was a jackass....but when he produced TD's....KC forgot all about it....and he reinvented himself as spiderman.

Ok how about we give a guy more than 2 weeks before saying he's better than a guy who's done it for numerous years.

That's why the Royals are the most poorly run franchise in professional baseball.

Most of the Guillen hate was promoted by Keitzman on 810, no? There will be some idiot on the radio in every city, so I'm not sure how this will be different anywhere else. It gets magnified in KC because of so few media outlets.

I seriously doubt he's talking about his talent.

Why, because he showed up fat and out of shape, sucked the first two months of the season, and has repeatedly embarassed the organization? He hasn't taken nearly enough crap as far as I'm concerned.
