Royals Link Roundup: Hey, We Haven't Talked Greinke Rumors In A Few Hours!

This is hilarious and amazing.

McDonald confirmed by e-mail that his post was satire.

NYYのプランBは、グレインキー獲得かな～失敗したらいよいよクビがヤバい。 (“NYY Plan B is an acquisition or Gureinki Iyo Iyo – fired but fails dope.”)

Lots of alternative translations for those last 4 words.

キャッシュＧＭがやるべき事は？決まってるよ、ＫＣのグレインキー獲得だ。精神疾患を抱えるグレインキーはＮＹのメディアと絶対に大トラブル起こすと言われる。でもどーせ負けるんなら同じ事だろ？プラス、これまたまさかのパヴァーノ獲得だ、ヤンクスに来るとイタイイタイ病になって４年休む人。 (“GM should do is cash it? I’m sure you, KC is a win Gureinki. NY Gureinki facing a mental illness is said to cause major problems in the media and absolute. Do the same thing if I lose them, right, right? Plus, I get this and Kano Masa Pavano, who turned four years itai disease and the rest comes Yanks.”)

I can’t see the Yankees signing Kano Masa Pavano this offseason

It’s…pretty.

That tell me the Rangers might match up well with the Royals for a Greinke deal.

heh, wow. I mean, I knew it was a joke when I first read it, but I guess it shows how the site has come that people unfamiliar with with Will’s style see it.

It will be interesting to see what the Nats get for him. Willingham has pretty consistently been a 2.5 WAR outfielder the past few seasons and is one year away from free agency. Very similar to say, David DeJesus. Will be interesting to compare the two deals.
