Re: KC Signs Juan Gone to 1-year deal

exactly. I think jaun was put off by the management and the manager. I don't think they got any closer because of the language barrier either. Not that Jaun can't speak english but he was one of the few spanish players left on texas' roster last year and they have a manager/owner/&gm that are all stiff white guys who probably only speak one or two words in spanish.

So playing in the outfield with another spanish speaking guy will probably help. That is, as long as Jaun doesn't dog it and fake injury.

I don't think that will be a an issue for Juan this year, playing on a 1yr contract with incentives that could land him an additional 2 million,
you watch, he'll probably have as good if not a better season than he had in 2001 (his last 1yr contract).

I believe this is a superb pickup for the Royals. As long as he's healthy, he's a terrific player that puts up huge offensive numbers. But the key is that he has to stay healthy. As for his attitude, maybe the fact that he's in a new atmosphere and being managed by Tony Pena will help him to be comfortable and happy. I think it's a good pickup by KC.
