Royals Sign Ramon Hernandez

By Steve Adams | January 7, 2014 at 10:53am CDT

The Royals have signed catcher Ramon Hernandez to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter).

Hernandez, 37, picked up a career-low 55 plate appearances with the Dodgers in 2013 and batted just .208/.291/.438. He did belt three homers in that time, showing that he still has some pop left in his bat. The Eric Goldschmidt client is a lifetime .263/.327/.417 hitter in parts of 15 Major League seasons with the Athletics, Padres, Orioles, Reds, Rockies and Dodgers.

In addition to starter Salvador Perez, the Royals already have a pair of catchers on their 40-man roster in Brett Hayes and Francisco Pena. Hernandez will compete with those two for a backup role in Kansas City.

    Ramon Hernandez is without a doubt the laziest ball player I’ve seen. Congrats on the pick up Royals.

      There’s a 90% chance he’s not even in the organization by the end of spring. Much-ado-about-nothing.

        I think he fits in well with the Royals team concept.

          So, you are saying the Royals team concept is to be lazy? What is the basis of the comment?

          It’s probably that whole “leading the league in stolen bases” thing that has him so confused.

    Despite this move, I still have a George Kottaras-sized hole in my heart.
