That increases his value a bit, a Myers for Holland+someone else could be close to par.

It makes sense, too, that the Rangers would then trade Myers for Upton.
(Although, why not just hang on to Myers? Go with what you know, albeit inconsistent, rather than gamble that Myers is less than an all-star.)
