Nov 13 Yabuta chose to become a free agent rather than accept an assignment to Triple-A Omaha, the Kansas City Star reports.

Recommendation: Yabuta saw limited action with the Royals in 2009, appearing in 12 games posting a 2-1 record with a 13.50 ERA. Yabuta does not provide more than organizational depth at this point in his career.
