I FOUND MELKY MESA

You remember Melky Mesa right? He was the young Yankee outfielder that was going to be the next big thing for the New York Yankees. Much like Austin Jackson, and Jesus Montero... there was also Melky Mesa.  Well, like the Yankees do often, they either cut loose their young talent or trade them away in the hopes for veteran "lightning in a bottle." Well hey, at least we have Zoilo Almonte, right?  Melky was released around the beginning of September last year.  Read MELKY MESA IS GONE & OTHER BIG MOVES.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I know where Melky Mesa is these days.  According to MLB.com, he just signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals.  Adam McCalvy writes:

"The Royals on Saturday signed former Indians utility man Jason Donald and former Yankees outfielder Melky Mesa to Minor League contracts. The club also said it would announce at a later date whether either player would get an invitation to big league Spring Training camp... Mesa is 26 and played in five games for the Yankees last season, going 5-for-13 with two doubles and two runs scored. He also hit .261 in 84 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with 15 doubles, 13 homers and 39 RBIs.

Mesa's best season was 2012, when he hit a combined .264 with 23 homers and 67 RBIs between Double-A Trenton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre."
