Myers had 522 ABs and 140 Ks last year between AA/AAA, that is significant. If you want to look past that or act like it doesn't matter, that is ok, however I think it means something.

He did K a lot but he also cracked 37 HR and hit over .300. So...that comes with the territory. He K 20% of the time which is about the same as Alex Gordon's 19% rate his only year in the minors (.290-29-100 for Wichita when he too won MiLB player of the year)
Gordon Ks a lot in the bigs and I'm sure Myers would too. So what? Gordon was about the 9th most valuable player in the entire AL this year overall.
