Come celebrate the signing of Mitch Maier with a sausage duo! Also, our soup of the day is purple!
I freakin love that place and the owner is awesome. I wonder if he’s a RR lurker.

With $10,000 incentives for every 100 ABs.
Which is to say $865,000.

The travesty is that Yuni is getting 67% more than superior players like Ronny Cedeno and Mike Aviles.

Yeah, but didn't we give them the $2 million
to make him go away as part of the overall Greinke deal?

I think so
We paid for the buyout…and then re-signed him.

That's the most depressing sentence I've read in a while.
C’mon guys. My cat died yesterday. I came here to get cheered up.

Good news for the Royals, unfortunate though it may be
That’ll cost them three wins, and we might pick up a couple of those.

None of these signings seem outrageous
except Getz. And Yuni. Peña´s got a little bonus ability in his switch-hitting. So far Dayton’s only wasted about a yuni and a half this offseason.

Well, you could certainly argue that he overpaid Francoeur
by a couple of yunis, as well, but at least none of these are José Guillén deals that will wreck the team.

And overpaid Chen by one year and one early round draft pick.

He came from a town down in East Cuba
Where the rations are low and the people are skinny and puny
P-U-N-Y puny
He walked up to me and he said he played short
I asked him his name and in a lousy accent he said Yuni
Y-U-N-I Yuni

There’s some defensive statistics that I don’t understand
but I know what my eyes see and that’s plus hands
on my Yuni, yu yu yu yu Yuni.
when you watch baseball games every single day,and that’s my Yuni, yu yu yu yu Yuni.
it’s very apparent who can play…
Yu yu yu yu Yuni.
Some folks here just can’t trust the process,
but he took Dotel deep in the NLCS!
So I picked him up when the Crew set him free,
and I said, little boy won’t you come home with me?
Well, I’m not the world’s most enlightened GM,
but when he moves to his right he can really extend.
Oh my Yuni, yu yu yu yu Yuni.
He dove for the ball. And threw it away.
He fell to the turf. He stayed down on his knees.
I looked at him, and he at me.
Well that’s the way that I want it to stay.
And I always want it to be that way
with my Yuni yu yu yu yu Yuni.
And sometimes people just don’t understand
how an infielder needs plus hand and plus hands
like my Yuni, yu yu yu yu Yuni.
Yu yu yu yu Yuni
Yu yu yu yu Yuni. Yu yu yu yu Yuni

Weird Al Yankovic
I believe this parody is very close to Weird Al’s “Yoda.” If Juancho and kcmiegre can play the accordian too, I would be willing to offer a two album deal, plus plus hands.

Boy, he sure whacked the hell out of that one
It doesn’t happen enough, which is why Mitch is 4th OF again next year unless somebody gets hurt and they have to bring up Myers.

Yeah I don't get it... Clearly he has power.
He just can’t properly utilize it.
