As players they probably aren't nearly as enamored with Myers as everyone else is. They probably are thinking that, yeah another bat is nice but it doesn't do a ton of good when our top of the rotation pitchers put us in a 5-0 whole after two innings. Its interesting to think of this from a ML players perspective. Did any of our current roster ever really play with Myers?
Exactly.

What if David Glass told Dayton Moore "hey, I guess I'll authorize some extra spending. But you better be competitive and put butts in the seats THIS YEAR."

If that's the case, not only is Dayton Moore trying to win now, he's absolutely 100% thinking about the FUTURE.
