The last two years have revealed just how far away Myers is from the Royals philosophy. Offensively, he is a power hitting bat who has struck out at a concerningly high rate for his entire career. His struggle to make consistent contact likely raised red flags with the Royals minor league scouting.
Even more concerning may have been Myers defense. His defense at both right and center have been atrocious in his young career. Put those struggles in Kauffman and we may have been pining for replacement level talent in right field.
I love Wil, and want him to succeed. His wrist problems (arising from a crazy outfield collision) are the worst thing that could have happened to a young hitter. However, it's now clear that his skill set may never been the right fit for the Royals. Kudos to Moore and his scouts for seeing that as he was coming through the pipeline.
