It Appears it is true. Betancourt the master of mental lapses is on his way to the Royals. The Royals who allready have there team of Ex- Mariners Gil Meche, Willie Bloomquist, Jose Guillen and Miguel Olivo will now have BEntacourt who came up in 2005 for the Mariners seemed to have so much promise and hit .289 in both 2006 and 2007. Many thought his eye would develop as he got older. The thing is Betancourt is from Cuba so who knows what his real age is.
