I think Royals fans have become so used to thinking about the "future" that they dramatically overvalue potential.
The Royals might fail to make the playoffs but if Myers never amounts to shit (which is entirely possible) this trade is not a failure.

If the Royals can't make the playoffs these next two years, it's an epic fail. Myers was of course the gem that the Rays wanted, but that's not taking into account giving up Odo or Montgomery. That was a ton of talent we could have used for years to come, as compared to the two year rental we have on Shields right now.
I like that we have a rotation now, I really do. Put it has to pay off fast for the trade to be a win for the Royals.
