Today on the Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I take a good hard long look at the Arizona Diamondbacks and wonder why we always underestimate those sneaky snakes from the desert.

By the way, I recorded this podcast in a car wash. No really, I did.

Derek Holland, Patrick Corbin, Mike Trout and Marlon Byrd all owned baseball on June 27, 2013.

The First Three Months Look At The Wil Myers And James Shields Deal – Who Is Leading?

Like us on Facebook here

Friday, June.28th/2013

James Shields has turned in a workman like effort for the Royals - only to have received little run support.  With the Trade having going down seemingly to correct each other main ailments with the Rays needing offense and the Royals needing defense.  It has worked for both teams.  However the Rays have done it for the majority without Myers - where as Shields is on pace for another 200+ IP.  Now the Royals can't hit and the Rays pitching has gone south.  One is left to wonder what if the trade never took place?

James Shields has turned in a workman like effort for the Royals – only to have received little run support to help him with his Won – Loss Record. With the Trade having going down seemingly to correct each other main ailments with the Rays needing offense and the Royals needing defense, it has worked for both teams yet exposed a weakness that used to be a strength in the process. The Rays have done it for the majority without Myers – where as Shields is on pace for another 200+ IP. Now the Royals can’t hit and the Rays pitching has gone south. One is left to wonder – what if the trade never took place?

It just will not go away.  The risky trade orchestrated by General Manager Dayton Moore this past offseason between the Royals and Rays deserves revisiting with Tampa Bay’s recent call-up of Wil Myers, the fourth-overall prospect according to MLB.com. 

Admittedly, the ultimate victor of the trade will not be decided for years, as it most likely hinges upon Myers’ development and ascension as a player. 

However, with virtually half of the 2013 season completed and looking at the now instead of the future, and this deal was undoubtedly for the now from the Royals perspective, the early returns are slanted in favor of the Royals.

Derek Holland pitched a complete game 2 hit shutout in the Bronx as the Rangers snuck past the Yankees, 2-0.

Mike Trout collected 4 hits, including one in the game winning 10th inning rally, as the Angels came from behind to beat the Tigers 3-1.

Marlon Byrd hit a 2 run homer in the 8th inning that turned a 2-1 hole into a 3-2 Mets win over the Rockies. Byrd threw out Michael Cuddyer trying to stretch out a single in the 9th inning.

And Patrick Corbin did not get the decision, but he was strong over 7 innings, letting up only 2 runs, helping the Diamondbacks set up a 3-2 victory over the Nationals in Washington.

They all owned baseball on June 27th, 2013.
