Gonzo Terms

From the Royals site:

"The 15-year veteran agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth $4.5 million. Gonzalez will receive $4 million next season, and the deal includes a mutual option for 2005 at $7 million. If the Royals decline the option, Gonzalez would receive a $500,000 buyout. In addition, he can earn $2 million in performance bonuses this year and $1.5 million in 2005."

I assume this paragraph was supposed to say he "will receive $4.5 million next season". The Royals also had to expand their payroll a bit to get Gonzo in but hopefully it will be worth it. Here's some projected lineups I'd like to see against each side:

RHP
LF Guiel
CF Beltran
DH Sweeney
RF Gonzales
1B Stairs
SS Berroa
3B Randa
C Santiago
2B Relaford

LHP (everybody hits well!)
2B Relaford
3B Randa
DH Sweeney
CF Beltran
1B Harvey
RF Gonzales
SS Berroa
LF Guiel
C Santiago
