Meche close to signing with Royals

Okay as a Royals fan I am a bit pumped that we might finally out bid teams for a quality signing. I am sure it will be over paying.

MECHE CLOSE TO SIGNING WITH KC

5 years and $55 million for Gil Meche.

As a Mariners fan, I just want to say, may god have mercy on your souls. You will soon learn to despise Gil Meche like we have over the last 10 years.

Yep 5 Years/55 Mil it's offical.

That's too much money. How many wins do you think he'll get? 11?12?

Every deal this off-season has been too much money. The Royals had the money to spend and they have a dire need for pitching. Dayton Moore targeted Meche and went after him.

It's just good to see the Royals finally get the guy they wanted and not settle.

I know that the Royals needed starting pitching, so Gil Meche fills a need, but man is 5 years and $55 million a lot for someone like Meche. But, I guess with the offseason being the way it is, that is what the Royals had to do to fill a need.

Yeah they do fill a need, the guy has potential, and I hope he performs well in KC. I like Kansas City's young group of players, Gordon and Lubanski and Butler, and adding veteran starting pitching is a good way to do.
