I think the Rays reload and the Royals stay in the shadows of the A.L. Central. Although a weak division it's not nearly enough to beat out the Tigers and the rest of the division the next 2 years.
Myers was a huge get for a team that desperately needs some offensive pop. Obviously not as much for this upcoming season as i doubt he will come up before that magic date in July. Six years of control is great though.
Goodvtrade for both teams but I think the Rays slightly got the upper hand in this one. The thing to look at is that they both traded something they coul afford to let go and filled some voids that they had. KC added depth to the rotation. Myers can flat out hit and they have 6 years left with him. Look for them to give him a decent sized extension this year or next as they did to longoria early in his career which has ended up being a HUGE bargain.
They'll compete in that divisio better than the Marlins did but they need to take notes from their rival in the bay area. Neither are great power hitting parks. You almost have to spend on pitching and use kind of a small ball approach offensively. Good sign for them but they still have too much big money tied up in offense for their park I believe.
I like getting Stubbs out of Cinci and I like Choo's OBP at the top of the lineup. The only thing that worries me is Choo's defense in CF.
