It's beginning to feel like it's not an offseason without a trade of Wil Myers. In three short years, he's gone from the Royals to the Rays and now on to the Padres. Only place he can go from the Padres is the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. They would hope Myers could carry them against their most hated rivals, the Yakuza Spits. The Miller Lite-inspired commercials between the Spits and Swallows in Japan are a real crack up. Tastes great!...Spit it out!...Tastes great!...Spit it out! Before Myers is pushing daisies in the NPB, he'll bide his time in San Diego and try to right this rapidly sinking prospect boat. "Ice-cold sophomore year right ahead!" In all for realliness, I was planning on jumping back in the Myers sinking ship prior to this trade, and I don't think it kills his value. Would I prefer he went to Coors? Yeah, well, dur. I also don't think a 24-year-old former top prospect is washed up just because he had one bad year after fracturing his wrist. Takes time to bounce back from that type of injury and one thing we have is time. Well, you with the oxygen mask and cigarette might have less time. In a few years, we're going to look back at Myers's 2014 as it should be viewed now, a blip. I'm about as sure of that as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti. Or as sure of it that I'm listening to too much Toto's Africa. Sure, Petco won't do him any favors, but if his wrist is at hundred percent there shouldn't be any problems getting at least 20 homers. Shoot, he could hit 10 homers in just his road games in Coors and Arizona. For 2015, I'll give him 61/20/72/.277/8. Definitely sleeper material here. Anyway, here's what else I saw this offseason for 2015 fantasy baseball:
