Why did you guys make the trade?
"Each GM involved needs to post a reply confirming the trade they agreed to is what’s stated in the thread. They also need to state the reasoning behind the trade for your organization; if you were the GM and on your local sports talk show giving an interview, what would you say? This will help the trade committee understand why the trade should be approved, especially for those who are unfamiliar with the players involved"
This is according to the Posting Format.
Phillies I see you put in that you are looking at filling in Howard's spot but nothing from the Mets. We are asked to do this to make sure the trades are fair and give some reasoning as to why the trade committee should approve of the trade.

i did post why i just didnt make it a new reply. honestly i only did this because howard is going to be out, if howard wasnt injured there would be no trade.

Yes, I acknowledged that in the previous post. Thank you. I was trying to make everyone aware and hopeful the Mets would post their response so Kenny or Shelby can move it to the Trade Committee.

The point is WHY would any sane Mets GM trade away a MLB Utility Infielder
for 3 yrs for 2 low probability of making it to the Majors Minor League Pitchers
who have been there several yrs !?

cosart is a top 50 prospect in the mlb and the 2nd best phillies prospect.

A Google "Search" shows that Jarred Cosart was traded by the Phils midway
through the season in 2011 to Houston . I think I recall he has been in the
Minors 3 yrs . It almost seems by "Veteran's" ( initial ) Response that he is
doing this as a personal favor to you !?

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.
