Now everyone is down on him. Don't you all think he will be fine once he's healthy and still have a great career in Tampa?

He strikes out too much.

you think he will come around or do you think there is a chance the Royals may have won the Shields/Wade Davis for Myers/Oddorizi trade?

There's no way the Royals will ever win that trade, Shields is out of the door and the Royals never made it to the postseason when he was with the team. Myers could flame out today and the Rays will still win that trade. Odorizzi (you spelled it wrong) has contributed a lot to the Rays this season by filling in for the injured Jeremy Hellickson in the rotation. If you combine 2013 and 2014, Myers and Odorizzi have contributed more to the Rays then Shields and Davis did for the Royals. Plus Mike Montgomery and Patrick Leonard (the two other players KC sent to Tampa) have both become top prospects in the Tampa Bay Rays organization. Montgomery is in triple-A and improving, and Leonard has been selected to this year's FSL All-Star Game and will be part of the FSL ASG Home Run Derby. Rays win, no question.
And Myers will turn it around. You don't have to be as smart as the people in the Rays organization (which you clearly aren't Infinite) to know that he is vital to the Rays' success. The Rays knows that the Rays offense is basically just Myers, Longoria and Zobrist. They will do whatever it takes to help Myers (who for all we know could just be suffering a mild sophomore slump) get back on track and help them compete next year.

Funny. I didn't realize the 2014 season had already ended. Last I checked they had not even played the All-Star game, but maybe I missed something.

Again, I didn't realize the 2014 season had already finished. Myers is contributing nothing to the Rays this season, while the Royals have a legitimate #1 starter in Shields who is leading the team in wins so far, and the best player and leader of the whole team. Wade Davis is one of the top 5 relievers in baseball so far this season. He has an ERA below 2.00. Davis is locked into a longer contract. So if you think that Odorizzi is worth more than a #1 starter and a top reliever in 2014 then you are wrong... but then again you aren't counting 2014 and think the season is already over.

Good analysis (outside of your comments on 2014). I agree that the Rays will likely ultimately win this trade. Especially if they are able to get something out of Montgomery. I also think Myers will get it back together.

The Royals are a team in the AL Central but they're not called the Detroit Tigers. Their 2014 season was over before it started.

Myers has contributed, just not the numbers that everybody was expecting him to.
In the end it won't matter how great Shields, Davis or Johnson (who's already gone) were in KC. The Royals have already lost this trade. The Royals might be able to keep Davis around for a little longer, but the Rays will be able to keep around Myers, Odorizzi, Montgomery and Leonard a whole lot longer.
I like how you're suddenly all optimistic about the Royals even though you left them for dead and jumped on the Blue Jays bandwagon. Then again you were only spewing nonsense like how some nobody on the Jays is still a thing in Kansas or some shit like that.
