Newsbreakers
September 18, 2009
Jose Guillen has been placed on the 60-day DL by the Royals, according to TSN.
Our View:
A strained left hamstring ended his 2009 campaign. He will have ample time to get healthy for spring training.
September 5, 2009
Jose Guillen (sore hamstring) will miss the remainder of the 2009 season, according to ESPN.
Our View:
Likely good news for the Royals, as Guillen is already one of the worst defensive outfielders in the game - they certainly don't need him out there encumbered by something else other than his lack of defensive ability. He was also batting just .242 in 81 games, and will not be missed.
September 2, 2009
Jose Guillen was unable to finish Wednesday's game at Oakland due to soreness in his right hamstring, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Guillen continues to have bad luck with injuries, as he is fresh off the DL following his recovery from a knee ailment. The Royals are yet to update his status.
September 1, 2009
The Royals have activated outfielder Jose Guillen (knee) from the 15-day disabled list.
Our View:
Guillen tore a ligament in his knee on July 22nd and has been sidelined since. He is now set to return to his starting outfield role, but was hitting just .245 with nine homers and 40 RBI when healthy, so there are better fantasy options available.
August 21, 2009
According to Bob Dutton on Twitter, Jose Guillen participated in batting practice Friday for the first time since injuring his knee on July 22nd.
Our View:
Guillen vows that he will return to the Royals before the season ends, but still has plenty of rehabbing to do. He is currently hitting .245 with nine homers and 40 RBI.
August 8, 2009
Jose Guillen is still shut down for at least another week, according to MLB.com. Guillen is on the DL with a partial tear in a right knee ligament.
Our View:
No surgery is planned for Guillen at this point, but it looks like he will be out for a decent amount of time. He may not play again this season, and if he does it will likely be September before he is able to contrbute.
July 24, 2009
Jose Guillen could miss up to 10 weeks while recovering from a partially torn ligament in his right knee, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Skipper Trey Hillman does not believe that Guillen will need surgery, but will get a second opinion to be sure. Guillen will miss at least a month, and is only worth holding in AL-only leagues.
July 23, 2009
Jose Guillen has landed on the 15-day DL with a sprained right knee, according to the Associated Press. Mitch Maier will be recalled from Triple-A to fill Guillen's spot on the roster.
Our View:
Guillen holds a poor .245 batting average with nine homers, and should only be missed in AL-only leagues while on the shelf.
July 22, 2009
Jose Guillen exited Wednesday's game against the Angels in the second inning due to "sudden leg pain," according to the Kansas City Star.
Our View:
Guillen was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. He has been dealing with a sore right groin for weeks, and noted that it affected his running. We will keep you posted on his status.
July 21, 2009
Jose Guillen went 1-for-3 with a single and an RBI in Tuesday's 10-2 loss to the Angels in the nightcap of their doubleheader.
Our View:
Guillen has a hit in three straight games, with three RBI over the span. He has seven RBI this month, and 40 for the season.
July 17, 2009
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that Royals' outfielder Jose Guillen will miss Friday night's game against the Rays because he was late returning from the Dominican Republic. Guillen was delayed because his son was sick.
Our View:
Manager Trey Hillman said Guillen would be in the lineup Saturday, so it looks like his lateness has been excused by the team. If you can get him out tonight, do so, but if not he will be back in the lineup tomorrow.
July 8, 2009
MLB.com reports that Jose Guillen came out of Tuesday's game with tightness in his legs, but he is in the lineup Wednesday and is playing through the pain.
Our View:
He's hitting fourth and DHing against the Tigers tonight. He was originally slated to play right field, but it looks like the legs were a nagging concern. It doesn't affect his fantasy status though as long as he keeps getting at-bats.
July 1, 2009
Jose Guillen went 1-for-4 with a single, and notched the Royals' lone RBI in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Twins at Kauffman Stadium.
Our View:
The Royals had 12 hits in the game, and stranded 18 men on base. Guillen has a hit in five of his last six games, and ended a seven-game drought without an RBI.
June 30, 2009
The Kansas City Star is reporting that Royals' outfielder Jose Guillen may not play on Tuesday night due to stiffness on his left side. Guillen missed Monday's game, and will be re-evaluated before the game tonight.
Our View:
The Royals are in the midst of 15 straight days with a game, so Guillen doesn't want to play if he is still hurting. Check back for an update on his status for tonight's game, but it is likely he will be out again.
June 29, 2009
Jose Guillen has been scratched from tonight's lineup against the Twins while dealing with a stiff left side, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
The stiffness runs along his entire left side, and he is being held out as the Royals are going to play 15 straight days.
June 25, 2009
It is believed that Royals' GM Dayton Moore will listen to trade proposals involving their players, according to FOX Sports.
Our View:
The club is looking to add talent and get relief on their payroll. Zack Greinke, Joakim Soria, Alex Gordon and Billy Butler are believed to be off the table, but the Royals could part with Mark Teahen, Jose Guillen and disappointing offseason acquisition Mike Jacobs.
June 21, 2009
Jose Guillen went 2-for-3 with three RBI in Sunday's 12-5 loss to the Cardinals at Kauffman Stadium. He hit a single and a solo homer off Adam Wainwright.
Our View:
Guillen ended an eight-game skid without a homer, and now has eight for the season. Guillen was in need of a solid performance as he was only hitting .237 in June heading into today's game.
June 17, 2009
Jose Guillen was 3-for-5 with three RBI, a double, and a walk in the Royals 12-5 loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Our View:
This was Guillen's first three-hit game since May 1 and he had just five RBI in June entering the night. A lot of his troubles can be attributed to poor plate discipline of late. In his 15 games prior to tonight, he had 17 strikeouts to just three walks. In his other games, he has 18 walks to just 14 strikeouts. However, he has walked in each of his last four games, indicating a bounce back could be on its way.
June 10, 2009
Jose Guillen was 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Indians.
Our View:
Guillen hasn't necessarily hit as well as expected, but he is still on pace for 23 home runs and 89 RBI. He's likely got a hot month in him at some point this summer.
May 26, 2009
Jose Guillen had a nice night at the plate for the Royals on Tuesday as they beat the Tigers 6-1. Guillen went 2-for-4 with a home run, a run scored, and two RBI in the game.
Our View:
Guillen has been a solid offensive option for the Royals when healthy this season, and he showed why tonight. He is still a power threat, and in that lineup he is probably the biggest offensive threat when he is right. As long as he stays in the lineup, he can contribute in all leagues.
May 3, 2009
The Royals are happy to have Jose Guillen back in the lineup. Their cleanup hitter went 2-for-3 with four RBI and blasted his third homer of the season in a 7-5 win over the Twins.
Our View:
Guillen has been solid since coming off the DL and should continue to rack up RBI opportunities with the Royals first three hitters in the lineup getting on base in front of him. He'll likely be popping up on more and more fantasy rosters as his bat continues to heat up.
April 27, 2009
Jose Guillen went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI, and two runs scored as the Royals beat the Blue Jays 7-1 on Monday.
Our View:
Guillen is back in the cleanup spot for Kansas City and he should find plenty of run producing opportunities coming his way. Tonight's performance seems that he has shed any rust he may have accumulated during his DL stint.
April 25, 2009
SI.com reports that Jose Guillen has been activated from the DL and started in right field on Saturday against the Tigers. He was out with a partially torn hip flexor.
Our View:
Guillen is one of the Royals bigger power threats and he will likely hit right in the heart of the Royals order. He should be a fine option for fantasy purposes.
April 23, 2009
Jose Guillen is set to return from the DL on Saturday, according to MLB.com. He has been recovering from a partially torn right hip flexor.
Our View:
Skipper Trey Hillman noted that Guillen will return to the diamond Saturday against the Tigers as either the starting right fielder or in the DH role. Where he plays could depend on the weather.
April 19, 2009
Jose Guillen has looked good in batting practice the past few days and could be ready to return to Kansas City's lineup when he's eligible to come off the DL on April 25, according to the Kansas City Star.
Our View:
Guillen got off to a slow start this season before suffering a partial tear to his hip flexor but has reached 20 home runs in five of the past six seasons (he played just 69 games in 2006) and hit for an overall decent average; he's well worth rostering in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues. Willie Bloomquist will be relegated back to a reserve role upon Guillen's return.
April 10, 2009
Jose Guillen has been placed on the DL due to a partially torn right hip flexor, according to the Kansas City Star. Sidney Ponson, who will start the Royals' home opener tonight, replaces Guillen on the roster.
Our View:
At this point, it's unclear how long Jose will be sidelined. We'll keep you posted when we have more news. Expect Willie Bloomquist to get some starts in the outfield while Guillen is out, or the team could also move Mark Teahen back to the outfield.
April 10, 2009
Jose Guillen is not in Kansas City's lineup on Friday due to a sore right hip, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
The injury does not appear to be too serious, although Guillen's immediate future is uncertain. A trip to the 15-day DL isn't completely out of the question, especially considering the Royals need to clear up a roster spot for starter Sidney Ponson before their home opener on Friday. Stay tuned with Guillen's status, but take him out of your lineup for now if you can.
March 25, 2009
A labor dispute involving workers at the Truman Sports Complex has put the Royals home opener in jeopardy, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
The Royals are hopeful that the labor dispute is worked out before opening day. There has been no announcement of where the game would be played if the issues continue.
February 28, 2009
Jose Guillen went 2-of-3 on Saturday, including a double and a home run.
Our View:
Guillen is certainly a productive fantasy player, especially in deeper leagues after managing to drive in 97 runs in 2008 in his first year with Kansas City.
February 23, 2009
Jose Guillen did some work today in the batting cages, according to MLB.com. He is nursing a sore shoulder and a sore big toe. Manager Trey Hillman said, "The toe is greatly improved, he did more running than I thought he was going to do yesterday."
Our View:
If healthy, Guillen should be a solid and productive fantasy outfielder.
February 16, 2009
Jose Guillen has reported to spring training in good shape, unlike last season when he was around 20 pounds overweight, according to MLB.com. Manager Trey Hillman said, "He looks good, it is good to see him. I spoke with him a couple of days ago and he said he was in better shape and, by appearances, he definitely is in better shape."
Our View:
Guillen should enjoy a solid 2009 campaign, assuming he can get along with the Royals' coaches and his teammates.
