One scout said he'd rather give a nine-figure contract to Kansas City Royals SP James Shields than Los Angeles Dodgers SP Zack Greinke. "Greinke's stuff is a little better," the scout said. "And on a given day, he can rise to the occasion and just dominate. But there are other days where he almost seems a little disinterested. You never have to worry about that with Shields. He's out there for one reason -- to beat you. And then there's the impact he has on a club on a daily basis. That's one thing about Greinke. He has great stuff. But he gives you none of that."

Tampa Bay Rays 3B Evan Longoria said the team is in a better place with SP James Shields and OF B.J. Upton gone. "There was a lot of history with B.J. and Shields and this organization, and I think there were some things that it was tough for them to get beyond," Longoria said. "As much as you try to instill the new way, some of those things, it was tough to get some of those thoughts out of their head. And so, I think, obviously they were great players, but as far as an over-arching belief in what we try to do here, I think with the new people that we have now, it's a completely new belief in what we're trying to do here."
