Five Things You Won't Hear in Gil Meche's Retirement Speech

"First and foremost, I'd like to thank Trey Hillman."
"It's like what Jose said to me once when we were hunting..."
"I'll always remember asking Dayton why he gave me five years, and him replying, 'I want you to be here when the winning starts'."
"...and also the Royals' great medical staff..."
"And finally, to Cliff Lee, despite our disagreements about Milton and Shakespeare, I say this: Amicii flores in horto vitae sunt."

Can this be a regular feature?

How often do you think Gil Meche is going to retire?

Maybe "5 Things You Won't Hear"

could be the topic.

Also, yes, it should be a regular feature.

He wasnt that awful

Granted the last 3 years of the deal worked out pretty badly, but the first 2 paid for almost the entire contract.

The Royals got a heck of a lot more out of him than the Brewers did with Suppan, or the Yankees did with Pavano. Its not really a “worst of all time” contracts.
