Gee, think the Royals aren't looking everywhere for pitching? Like buying a K-Tel best of the '90's CD on eBay, the Royals have
dipped into the past and signed
Hideo Nomo to a minor league deal.
Nomo said Friday on his official Web site that he has signed a minor league contract with the Kansas City Royals.
"I want to hang in there no matter what, hoping that I won't get injured," the 39-year-old veteran said on his home page.
Good to see that Nomo aims high. But at 39 years old, staying healthy might be the most realistic goal he could have. He hasn't been in the majors since '05 with the Devil Rays, bouncing around the minor league systems of the Yankees and White Sox since then. Yet it'll be nice to see Nomo's helicopter-like delivery once again, reminding everyone of their youth ... of grunge music,
A Current Affair, and the
Reebok Pump. I love the 90's.

You got to admire his passion for the game, but if he couldn't do it at 36, he ain't gonna be able to do it at 39.
