Jose Guillen signs with the Royals and gets suspended
Malcontent outfielder Jose Guillen signed a 3-year $36 million contract with the Kansas City Royals. At 31 years old, Guillen will be a mature, good role model for the young Royals. Or, he will continue to be a whiny jackass who is suspended for the first 15 games of next year for admitted HGH use. Baltimore's Jay Gibbons was the only other player suspended.
Gary Matthews Jr and former Halos Glaus and Schoeneweis not suspended
While Jose Guillen and Jay Gibbons were given 15 day suspensions for HGH use, four other players with drug allegations were not given suspensions. Amazingly, three of the four are connected to the Angels. Current Angel Gary Matthews Jr was not suspended. Troy Glaus, Scott Schoeneweis and Cardinals' of Rick Ankiel were also not suspended.
