Deal is still tough to like, but a little easier to swallow in the light of day.
It still comes down to winning now. The Royals are taking a bold swing at that.
I will still maintain that KC could have gotten a similar bump just from playing Wil Myers everyday in RF rather than Francoeur, but that DOES also assume Francoeur is as bad in 2013 as he was in 2012. Even if Francoeur is just a replacement-level guy (what he has been in his career, basically) in 2013, that's worth almost 3 wins.
A lot of things still have to break KC's way to make the playoffs in 2013, but fewer of them than at this time yesterday.
If KC makes the playoffs and Davis is better over the next several years than Odorizzi, then I can live with this. Risky move on Moore's part, but risky in the right direction (I guess).
