Unreal. I know KC must be desperate to build a winner, but signing Guillen is a mistake, IMO. Once KC starts losing, he will implode just like he has every time things started to go bad. Complete waste of money.

When was the last time they were competitive?? Their actions with Meche and Guillen only underscore just how inept they really are...
