I'll make the semi-bold prediction right now.
Hudson will sign a two year contract with the Royals next Thursday.
Why aren't more teams interested in him? Injury concerns would be the only reason I can see...he missed time last year b/c of a broken wrist (if I recall correctly), but that doesn't seem like the type of injury that would be considered a chronic or career-threatening injury or anything..but a lot of teams appear to be backing away from him.
That would not be an awful signing at all, I would like to see it happen.Quote:

Perhaps I'm wrong about that or perhaps the injury hasn't healed yet.
No, I'd say your right on the injury front. This is just an odd off-season in terms of when, where, and how the premier free agents are signing. I wouldn't put much stock into the fact that he's not signed yet, it's happening all over the place.Quote:

These are rumors I heard on another fourm. Is the kind of pres you want?
That was something Ewing said, not me. Yes, I used it in my signature, because I found it funny. However, why are you pointing this out in sports talk?Quote:

Yeah, you're right. Maybe not, actually.

Lol. I just noticed I typed Necessitate instead of necessary, heQuote:

He isn't an amazing player, but I'd imagine a lot of teams would see an upgrade at 2B if he signed with them..but it seems like he's unwanted everywhere. Hopefully KC can sign him...maybe a one-year deal with an option and incentives.Quote:

Yes, that is why I only call it a "semi-bold" prediction. I should say though, that I first heard about this from a KC star reporter a week or so ago..he dropped the name as a possibility.Quote:
