The Soler trade is a C+ from me. I am afraid his .240 average is his BA production at the MLB level and Kauffman will limit his power game. Tremendous upside though and could be an All-star if he develops some plate discipline. Had the Royals acquired even a low lever farm arm, this trade would have been much better. I am really shocked they didn't get a low level arm back in return along with Soler.
