Phillies Mets Trade

[snbts]

Spirit this trade is not up to us but for the trade committee to decide on according to page 9 of the league constitution. 

Cosart is according to mlb.com the 31st out of the top 50 prospects and now the #1 of the astros (though we may disagree with this). 

Scouting report: When healthy, the 2008 Draft pick has electric stuff, with one of the better fastballs in the Minors and a very good curve. He's lean and projectable and he's got good command of his stuff, though his changeup, as with many young pitchers, is behind the other offerings. The bigger issue has been staying injury-free. In 2009, it was his back and shoulder. Last year, his season ended at the end of June with a bad elbow.

Phillippe Aumont is also the #10 prospect in the Phillies organization.

I can see both side to this trade but that is for the trade committee to decide on.

Cosart was the key piece to the Hunter Pence deal to the Astros and could be on some top prospect lists. Calis said he didn't make his top 50 though.

Aumont was one of the big pieces in the Lee trade, and is a pretty darn good prospect in his own right.

Too much of a haul for a bench/UTL guy.

Not to mention we are about to go into FA, a replacement for Howard doesn't have to be made through a trade.

I think it's a lopsided trade and would say no.

Will move this to the ProFSL TC once the Mets post their reasoning.

No response. I'm moving this to the Invalid Transactions section. If both teams want to revive this trade, they can if they both provide a reasoning for making the trade.
