I'm not B. I'm B's evil twin! Give me your outfits!
When we ended the pre-Crisis Dugout universe in a grand event on the old site it revolved around the Kansas City Royals and the terrible things they were planning to do to baseball. Good and evil had it out, and when we were done we closed the book on the subject. But then we forgot that the Dugout isn't reality (although stuff like Elijah Dukes getting traded to the Nationals would argue otherwise) and that terrible things would continue to happen dangerously close to Buck O'Neil's seat.
Can't somebody throw a pair of robot legs on Bo Jackson and get him back in the game? Come on, Royals!
Jose Guillen looks for something to take, after the jump.

GuillenYourCar: /rushes into room with an armful of books and loose papers
Am I late? Am I late? Is everything already filled up?
|
 |
WinBenSteinsBrenner: /closes up booth
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: Aw, dammit! Oh, maybe I can-
|
 |
TheoElDio: /closes up booth
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: Grrr.... Hey! Hey, excuse me, can I-
|
 |
PillsburyPohlad: /wanders off to lunch with George and Theo
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: Come on, there has to be something left. I don't want to have to sign up for Japanese.
|
 |
TreyHillMix: excuse me sir are you looking to participate in an exciting opportunity in major league baseball
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: Oh, why yes, I thought I'd signed up for the Seattle Mariners but I got bumped. What class is this? /looks around at booth
|
 |
TreyHillMix: double a, by the looks of it
the name's trey hill, friend, and if you'd step on over i can get you signed right up for a semester seeing the world as part of the kansas city royals baseball club
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: The Kansas City Royals? I don't knowwww. Are you the General Manager?
|
 |
TreyHillMix: only the manager, friend, our general manager is currently waging an endless and cyclical battle against the mortal representation of baseball's innocence somewhere amongst the deep infinity of the internet
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: what
|
 |
TreyHillMix: no worries, friend, the only thing you need to know is that the kansas city royals are willing to offer you 13 million dollars a year even though your last team barely bought you out for five-hundred grand
we do have prerequisite requirements, of course, what have you taken so far
|
|
GuillenYourCar: Since I've been here I've taken Diamondbacks, Reds, Athletics, Angels and Nationals.
|
 |
TreyHillMix: they still offer nationals?
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: Basket-weaving was full.
|
 |
TreyHillMix: ah
and what did you take last semester?
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: $20,000 worth of HGH
|
 |
TreyHillMix: does the HGH give you superhuman strength or give you the athletic edge in certain situations
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: I batted .290 for a team that finished six games back in the AL West
|
 |
TreyHillMix: twenty thousand dollars well spent, friend
welp, when i said "prerequisites" i meant "the ability to walk upright and breathe without the help of machinery" so you're almost overqualified for the position
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: I can try less!
|
 |
TreyHillMix: that's what i like to hear
you sit down and fill out this paperwork and we'll see to getting you that thirteen million dollars for when the season starts so you'll have some steroids to snort while you're sitting at home doing nothing to help us
|
 |
GuillenYourCar: That's where I'm a viking! /drops books
/sits down with paperwork
|
 |
TreyHillMix: yes, yes
excuse me sir are you looking to participate in an exciting opportunity in major league baseball
|
 |
ByrdOnAWire: /looks around
Oh, no, I'm sorry. I thought I was going to get dropped from Cleveland Indians but they gave me like 8 million dollars anyway, so
|
 |
TreyHillMix: would you mind if i handed you additional money |

I look forward to these. I had to say TreyHillMix 4 times before my mind wrapped itself around your verbal alacrity. Keep up the hilarious work. Big ups to Ralph Wiggum.

Close up shop kids. Dugout of the year.
Next year the Royals will be just as good if not better than the season Mike Sweeney hit a 'quiet' 83 HR's in 2003. But I definitely don't see him ever equaling his 2001 season**(.422 BA, 61HR, 161 RBI) when he placed 3rd in the balloting for the Royals Team MVP.*
*For those wondering the final voting tally went something like this
MVP - A.J Hinch
2nd - Carlos Febles
3rd - Mike Sweeney
4th - Oriental Express Roller Coaster
5th - Blake Stein
6th - Outfield Water Fountain #23B

Assuming Guillen will be suspended for the first 15 or so games and then most likely play four games before being suspended or injured for the rest of the year he could end up getting something like a million per game played. Not Mike Hampton levels of insanity but getting there.

Gleebo-
Pretty sure that Barry Boinds and Barry Bnods also snuck onto the Royals team MVP chart for 2003.
