By: Nam Y. Huh

Jose Guillen, the left fielder for the Royals has been linked to a trainer from the Dominican Republic who has been banned from major league clubhouses. The trainer Angel Presinal has been tied to Alex Rodriquez. Other names such as David Ortiz, Robinson Cano, and Juan Gonzalez have been associated with Presinal.

Guillen says he has not employed Presinal since 2004 and has no plans on employing him in the near future. Guillen wants to respect the wishes of Major League Baseball by not hiring him. Though he says he doesn't think there would be a problem hiring him in the Dominican.

"He's one of the nicest guys who I ever met or worked with" Guillen said of Presinal. Guillen

would like to simply put all of this behind him.
