Wow. Does this sweet pic of Todd Wellemeyer blow your mind or what.
The Kansas City Royals agreed Tuesday to a $635,000, one-year contract with the right-handed pitcher, who made $347,500 last year and had asked for $740,000 in arbitration. Meanwhile, the Royals had offered $565,000.
Wellemeyer, 28, joined the Royals bullpen midway through last season after the Florida Marlins placed him on waivers. He went 1-2 with a team-best 3.63 ERA in 28 relief appearances for Kansas City, allowing just 48 hits in 57 innings pitched.
KC also agreed to a minor league contract with righty reliever Jason Standridge with an invite to spring training. Standridge has played for Tampa Bay, Texas and Cincinnati, spending the last half of the season with AAA Louisville. Standridge, 29, is a career 3-8 over 119 innings with a 5.64 ERA.

Aw, shit yeah!!! We're going all the way to the top now! Wellmeyer was the missing piece!
Watch out world!
Dude. We call a club like KC a "sleeper" in the biz.
The biz? What?
A commenter on Awful Announcing has started a blog called "If I Ran..." in which he invites other bloggers to fantasize about running something sports-related. I'm doing "If I Ran the Royals".
This ought to show the Baseball Babes why I don't write about baseball very often. Because my team sucks and I'm not much of a baseball whiz.
Haha! I can't wait!
You know...maybe you should send in your résumé, E.
