From Kansas City Star report: "Other players could be involved, but the basic framework would be Myers for one of the two pitchers. At this point, all sides � the Royals, Rays and Red Sox � remain hesitant. Still � is either worth considering from the Royals� perspective? In effect, are two years of Shields or Lester worth six years of Myers? 'You can project Myers to hit 30 homers in two or three years,' one Royals official said. 'You�d have a middle-of-the-order bat that�s controllable and affordable. What�s more important?'
