Barring the unthinkable, a Jose Guillen injury, on Opening Day 2009, the Royals, our Royals, will move up a notch in the all-time Jose Guillen standings.
Games played by Jose Guillen as a ___ :
- Pirate (336 games, 1997-9)
- National (217 games, 2005-6)
- Devil Ray (193 games, 1999-01)
- Mariner/Royal (153 games, 2007, 2008)
- Angel (148 games, 2004)
- Red (122 games, 2002-3)
- Athletic (91 games, 2003)
(I know the list isn't properly noting the tie at fourth... damn auto-numbering.)
As Guillen's name is announced on Opening Day, no one will be cheering louder than I, as I will then note that Guillen is now more of a Royal than a Mariner.
I want Chris Berman covering the game. That's how important this is to me.
I just feel sick knowing that, right now, our Royals are only tied for fourth on the all-time Jose Guillen Games Played standings. May this trivial annoyance pass soon.

We'll finish first
Next season will be enough to move us into second place. And given the way the market in baseball is right now, no one will want to take on his contract for 2009. I could see him being a trade candidate 2010, but that is probably second half of the season. But then again, hopefully that won’t happen because we will be contending and he will be a part of it!!

Barring injury,
I believe we are condemned to Jose for at least another 200 games. But I guess that probably isn’t so bad. I expect he will bounce back and OPS around .775 next year. If so, he will help the team offensively. I hate his contract, but what are you going to do….. Jose is a sunk cost and I guess the proper attitude for us is to get as much out of him as possible and try not to fixate on his salary or the fact that he is not Fukudome, or Dunn, or Bradley, … Dayton really screwed the pouch when he panic-signed Guillen.

He is somehow better than JoGui.

If the Mariners had used the Ichiro~! connection to get him instead of the Cubs
he’d already be patrolling Kaufman, for the low-low price of Alex Gordon

a minor injury plus a mid-season trade in '10 keeps us below the pirates

Royals play the white sox opening day.
Royals play the yankees the home opener.. and CC probably wont be pitching as it will be time for the 4th starter in the rotation
Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.

He isn't going to be traded
because most teams are not that dumb. And his abilities “to play through pain” are legendary. He’ll top out this list before we are shot of him.

Three year contract
Who knew three years would last so long?

I think all the votes for second are just wishes

There's always hope
as long as Omar Minaya, Frank Wren, and Ned Colletti roam free.
Maybe Bill Smith, too, if he wants a another Delmon Young, except 33 and on the downslide…

He's no Delmon Young
Delmon has toenails. I think.
