Lester for Myers?

Jon Lester is a starting left-handed pitcher coming off his worst season in the majors. Wil Myers is a young, power-hitting outfielder who tore up minor league pitching last year. Myers clubbed 37 HR's with 109 RBI. Would the Sox trade Lester to KC for Myers & perhaps others? Interesting talk. Myers could join a talented group of Sox prospects scheduled to hit the big team in 2014. Will the Sox opt for a youth movement & add Myers or stand pat & expect Lester to turn around his disappointing stats from 2012? The winds of change are swirling in Beantown. Maybe Ben feels that there are options within & outside the organization to piece together a rotation for 2013. This winter I think any change is good. Unless Lester was packaged up in a trade to Seattle for King Felix, I'd seriously consider this opportunity.
