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.

More than Pena!

Take that, Brayan! But less than Getz. :(

Golly mom

The Royals just handed me $865,000! I’m like, a millionaire now! I can buy all the gobstoppers at camp that I can fit in my mouth!

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.

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

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.
