Duncan you like Dex Fowler in the past. 4/56 also, and he's 29. Might be a good fit here.

$14 million a year for Leake is not bad and seems about right.
Dexter Fowler would be a decent consolation prize for Alex Gordon, if they don't get a deal done there.
He's a good power/speed guy and should play a good LF, if that was the plan. I like that he's a switch hitter, and I like that he's a good career OBP player (.367 career OBP, nearly 100 points higher than his BA).
I think he'd likely be someone who can hit 10-15 HR with 40 2B and about 30 SB for KC, which would be pretty valuable.
He's also better historically vs. LHP than RHP, which is a bonus.
