Royals agree to terms with Collins on 1-yr deal

Posted February 17, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Tim Collins,  Greg Holland,  Vin Mazzaro,  Luis Mendoza,  Danny Duffy,  Alcides Escobar,  Johnny Giavotella,  Eric Hosmer,  Mike Moustakas,  Salvador Perez,  Lorenzo Cain
TEAMS: Kansas City Royals

The Royals and left-hander Tim Collins have agreed to terms on a contract for this season, leaving 11 unsigned players on their 40-man roster. The unsigned players have fewer than three years of service time, which means their contracts can be set at the club's discretion. The deal with the 22-year-old Collins was announced Friday, three days before pitchers and catchers are due to report to the team's spring training facility in Surprise, Ariz. Collins was 4-4 with a 3.63 ERA in 68 relief appearances during his rookie season. The remaining unsigned players are right-handers Louis Coleman, Greg Holland, Vin Mazzaro and Luis Mendoza; left-hander Danny Duffy; infielders Alcides Escobar, Johnny Giavotella, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas; catcher Salvador Perez and outfielder Lorenzo Cain. Kansas City begins full-squad workouts on Feb. 25.
