If they are shooting for 2012 they mine as well get something for him now that can help the team then. They finally ditched Guillen today which is a start, maybe once Meche is healthy they can get rid of him too.
http://www.kansascity.com/2010/08/05/2130939/royals-greinke-isnt-happy.htmlSEATTLE | Zack Greinke isn’t sure he wants to endure the growing pains he knows are coming as the Royals gear up for another youth-based rebuilding plan.
It matters little that growing optimism surrounds numerous prospects currently percolating through the club’s farm system or that raves from outside the organization match in-house assessments for the first time in years.
Greinke greets it with a shrug.
“Every system has something,” he said. “The biggest problem is I have two more years on my contract. Are those guys supposed to make it up by the beginning of next year?”
Tell him, yes, some are projected to reach the majors next year, and Greinke just shakes his head. He seems a resigned skeptic dulled by the hard reality of too many losses over too many years.
“Very rarely,” he argued, “do guys come straight into the big leagues and make an impact, especially hitters. Just look at the top prospects in baseball. Delmon Young was one five years ago, and he’s finally starting to play well.
“Alex Gordon was one four years ago, and he might be starting to play well now. So the problem (with the Royals’ prospects) is that it’s not like as soon as they get here that it’s going to be instant (success). Maybe by 2014.”
Greinke lets that harsh assessment hang in the air for a moment before continuing.
Did everyone see the catch? Pretty amazing.

I know this gets said all to often for different things but that may be the greatest catch I've ever seen.
