Royals Sign Juan Cruz

Hopefully this is the last post that I write about the Royals, until they win their division this September of course. I really like the Royals, and they have an interesting core of talent. If the talent goes through a great coalescence however, this team is deadly. Still they have a few flaws, but I still see them winning 85 games in 2009. And in the AL Central, that’s all that’s really needed to do so.

Arizona gets the Royals second round draft pick in this year’s draft, but not their protected first rounder. Cruz gets 6MM, with incentives that could push it up to 8.5MM. Still the sad thing about this deal is that Cruz will get less than Kyle Farnsworth. That’s what you get for being a Type A free agent.
