Quinn wasn't a bad player, either. Neither was Pickering, and I'm not sure how be fits the profile, either.

Terry Shumpert: 5 years in KC, .220 batting average.
Pickering: 2 years in KC: 8 HRs, 56Ks.
McReynolds is what we got from the Mets for Saberhagen. In 2 years with KC, he hit .246. He was out of baseball a year later.
Hearn is what we got for David Cone. Yes, he was hurt, but that trade really cost us. Cone made it back to KC as a Free Agent and won a Cy Young in 1994, then the Royals traded him again in 1995.
Quinn in four years hit .282 which is great, but it was a very hollow .282. He K'ed 184 times and only walked 56 times, only hit a total of 45 homers (that's 11 per year) from a power position (outfield). And his outfield play and fielding was atrocious. He also put himself on the DL, getting hurt Kung-Fu Fighting with his brother. Bonehead.
