If we make the playoffs great but it'll have to be with the flawed players we have like Butler and shields.

The Royals are not making the playoffs. The math simply isn't in their favor. Therefore, it's asinine not to trade Shields.
Furthermore, Davis isn't coming back as a $7M setup man, so we'll either watch him walk, or the club could actually do something smart: trade Holland.
Move Davis to closer in '15.
