Gil Meche to the Royals for 5 yrs, $55M 

[Rome]

Not crazy at all, right IGY?

[DH]

I heard that deal was done, Ed.

Nice to know mediocrity is worth 11 mil though.

Rumored trade:  Jon Garland to the Astros for Willy Taveras, Taylor Buchholz and Jason Hirsh

According to Jon Heyman, at SI.com, the deal fell through because Buchholz failed a physical.

11 mil isnt crazy for a FA pitcher these days...im just suprised the royals did it

meche has very comparable stats to myers actually and hes supoosedly on the cusp of acedom

[DH]

"Acedome" + KC Royals = Oxymoron.

[ice grillin you]

i meant myers

[DH]

[BigEd76]

Yeah, he's so great that the pitching-desperate Mariners let him walk away for nothing....

[ice grillin you]

Yeah, he's so great that the pitching-desperate Mariners let him walk away for nothing....

who said hes great?
