OK....but that was 10+ years ago that he was drafted. Whomever is running scouting for that team should be shot.

Also, Wil Myers looks like a future star and James Shields looks like the #2 or #3 starter he always was. More great player evaluation.

They were fired 8 years ago

Would the Royals be 58-53 with two months of Wil Myers and Luke Hochevar in the rotation? Royals players dont come up and dominate from day one, so why should we have expected Myers to?

trading wil meyers was absolutely

dumbbbbbb

agree. I'd rather wait three years for him to be average just in time for arbitration as opposed to winning games today

I definitely want to see more Luke Hochevar starts

OK...whomever was hired 8 years ago should be shot. At least the previous regime brought in Greinke. How can you have no legit starters since then!?!?! It's almost impossible.

As for Myers, I think he's the one that got away. All that time wrapped up in Hosmer (who is decent), Mousetakas(who is awful) and others looks misplaced. Myers was the jewel of that system. Never trade with TB!

Average out Davis and Shields and you have a combined average as fuck starting pitcher...

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that Alex Rios has been claimed on revocable waivers by an unknown team (Twitter link).

Because he is on revocable waivers, the White Sox have 48 hours to work out a trade with the claiming team or pull him back off waivers. Chicago could also let the claiming team have Rios for nothing and be content to dump his salary -- the very manner in which Chicago acquired Rios from the Blue Jays in 2009 -- but that seems unlikely given his .277/.328/.421 batting line. Rios is controlled through 2014 and owed $12.5MM next season with a $13.5MM club option, though each of those salaries will increase by $500K if he is traded.

It seems likely that an American League team was awarded the claim on Rios, as waiver priority at this point in the season is determined by league and record. All 15 AL teams would have the opportunity to claim Rios before an NL team. The Rangers and Pirates were both connected to Rios prior to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.

My guess...Rangers.

oh and if anyone cares...

tigers finally lose today against the indians or tomorrow against the yankees

meanwhile, the braves should easily sweep the marlins.

I don't know if I would say they will easily sweep as it is MLB and never know. Braves have Beachy/Wood/Minor as pitchers and first two are 4/5 in rotation. We do avoid Miamis best pitcher Fernandez though

1st round pitchers drafted since 1990

just basing it on how long it took gordon, butler, moose and hosmer to become good.

still waiting on moose.

why would myers be any different? he needed to be traded to realize his potential earlier

Absolutely pathetic. Can you post 2nd and 3rd round, as well? I really can't imagine missing on such a high % of pitchers drafted. You gotta catch a break at some point, no?

most were based on signability, when baird was here

that was when they were drafting college seniors after the 5th round and offering them $1000 bonuses since they had 0 leverage.

david glass is a real piece of shit
