BA的Jim Callis也说话了：
Myers becomes the first Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year
traded before reaching the majors with his original organization. He's one of
the very best prospects in baseball—I'd put him third among position players
behind Rangers shortstop Jurickson Profar and Cardinals outfielder Oscar
Tavares—and the most valuable long-term piece in the trade. As a result, the
Royals have been hammered in the blogosphere for making the deal.
Myers是第一位拿到BA小联盟年度球员，未登上大联盟即遭交易的案例。
今年BA TOP100，他排在第三位，在他前面是Jurickson Profar以及一位
小联盟球员Oscar Tavares。
Would I have agreed to the trade if I were running the Royals? No, I wouldn't
have. I think you win with stars and superstars, and Myers has the best
chance of any of the six guys involved to play at that level. There's a whiff
of desperation to this deal for Kansas City, which hasn't been able to
develop pitching on its own and, not coincidentally, hasn't been able to
return to contention.
给我作主，我不会让这个交易发生。因为我认为赢球需要明星球员，Myers
是这个交易中最有机会达到这样水平的球员。我认为皇家队在谈判中被逼到
悬崖，他们养不出投手，很不巧的，他们缺乏竞争力的大部分原因也在这个
环节。
But I don't think it's a terrible deal. It essentially boils down to Myers
for James Shields, because Odorizzi has the same résumé that Wade Davis had
at the same age, Montgomery hasn't been right since straining his forearm in
April 2010 and Leonard is a lottery ticket who has yet to play above Rookie
ball.
我不认为这是个很烂的交易。
巴拉巴拉巴拉
If Shields and Davis help rejuvenate the Royals rotation and the team can
advance to the postseason for the first time since 1985, the deal will have
been worth it from Kansas City's perspective. If not, it will regret trading
Myers before his big league career ever started.
如果两位光芒人能带领皇家重返季后赛(上一次是1985年)，这个交
易对皇家就值得了；不过如果提早放假，那后悔莫及，年轻的肉体
一去不复返。
As for the new Rays farmhands, Myers obviously will be Tampa Bay's No. 1
prospect. We're still finalizing the adjustments for the Prospect Handbook,
but I see Odorizzi slotting at No. 5 between shortstop Hak-Ju Lee and
righthander Alex Colome, Montgomery fitting in the mid-teens and Leonard
appearing in the bottom third of the Top 30. Those four players have boosted
the Rays system from the middle of the pack to the upper quartile.
