What I expect to happen for this trade:
James Shields is a 3-4 WAR pitcher for KC for two years (3.50-3.75 ERA, 200 IP, 180K), walks at the end of this deal, gets a qualifying offer, and ends up resulting in a comp pick for KC.
Wade Davis continues to be underwhelming when tried as a starter and ends up being an effective reliever for KC.
The PTBNL is not anyone exciting.
Wil Myers posts 3-4 30 HR seasons in the next 6 years as a full-timer starter for Tampa and makes the All-Star team 4 times.
Mike Montgomery figures it out and becomes a strong member of the Rays rotation by 2014.
Pat Leonard continues to show great power and is a top 50 prospect by the time Shields walks.
Jake Odorizzi makes more effective starts over the course of the Davis/Odorizzi contracts than Davis does.
