CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
10 free agents that will drive next team to tears
As you may have seen yesterday, the Royals signed shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt, a move that was roundly mocked by, well, everyone. To be fair to the Royals, whoever ended up signing Yuni was going to be ridiculed, he is just one of those players that "informed" fans have come to loathe since he brings almost nothing to the table, yet keeps getting starting jobs in the...

Finding A Place For Yunie B. in 2012
With the offseason just underway, there's not exactly a lot to talk about in regard to the Milwaukee Brewers roster moves. But one of the few transactions made so far was the club's decision to decline Yuniesky Betancourt's $6M club option for 2012, using the $2M the Royals sent with him and Zack Greinke in last winter's trade.
And while declining Yunie's option...

Yuniesky Betancourt Can He Get The Job Done At Shortstop
Yuniesky Betancourt will most likely be the Milwaukee Brewers starting shortstop along with Craig Counsell backing him up. Did the Brewers upgrade, stay the same or downgrade at shortstop? Betancourt has logged six seasons in MLB with Seattle and Kansas City. He is a lifetime .272 hitter and last season he did hit 16 home runs and drove in 78 runs the most in his career.

Royals Get Rid Of Yuniesky Betancourt
As far as I’m concerned, that’s the big news in the AL Central today. KC sent Yuniesky Betancourt, some starting pitcher and cash to the Milwaukee Brewers for prospects. Of course, that starting pitcher was Zack Greinke – but we’ve been assuming for a while that he’d be dumped, right? The big surprise, of course, is that someone took Betancourt off of their hands....
