That's the dumbest ****ing post in a thread of dumb ****ing posts.
Salvador Perez and his 3.8 WAR projection aren't worth Taveras alone.
Your terrible GM is not a barometer of good trades. The same guy who traded away two years of Greinke's service to Doug Melvin for Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain when Melvin got Jean Segura for two months of Greinke probably shouldn't be judging Wil Myers' value.
Your dumbass would kill for Taveras, Wacha, Kolten Wong, and Carlos Martinez. That's not to mention the wave of rookies that have just come up from that farm system: Rosenthal, Siegrist, Matt Adams, and Shelby Miller.
Christ, Shelby Miller has been better than
any Royals player this year.
