    Royals Jose Guillen: You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him.

    5 home runs in his last 4 games. What's gotten into this former Red? He's destroying it out there.

    He's easy to contain, he's another Milton Bradley. He's due for a bout of insanity.

    I have always loved the guy. He has a killer attitude and all the potential in the world. And you really would be hard pressed to find an arm like his.

    He's in a contract year.

    That didn't last. Released, traded for "player to be named later". Now THAT's justice.

    Its not when he comes to my Giants. He looked like he was carrying Bengie Molina on his back while running the bases in his only start for us so far.

    Welcome to the site Jason!

    Unfortunately Guillen is his own worst enemy. I watched him as a Red and the talent is there. His attitude isn't and that hurts both his team and his overall value. It doesn't help that he is streaky, but if he was one of those Chipper Jones/Scott Rolen/etc kind of clubhouse guys, the Royals would have actually got something for him.

    Thanks! I have to say that I meant that somewhat tongue in cheek. I'm not a Guillen hater. He's been productive when healthy. Just not healthy enough to remain productive. And "love_that_reefer" is right, he can't run worth a darn any more.

    Yeah man welcome to the site! I went to KC this summer and absolutely loved the ball park. Extremely nice, very clean, the Party Porch is gorgeous! If anyone is thinking about taking a trip there, it is definitely worth it. Stick around though man.. Its always good to have some new members.

    You can't stop him, you can only hope to TRADE him. Hyuk?

    How late did you stay up thinking of that one?
