TOR / LAD Trade

[JMAC]

Just in defense of the trade for other owners who may not have established an opinion yet.

Musgrove has never proven top 15 value.  Last year per fantrax he was ranked 18th.  This season he ranked 12th however has been on a steep downtrend last 2 months with ERA's at 4.24 last month and 5.09 in Aug.  1.5 months left in the season can easily fall out of top 15.  All in all, Musgrove has had 1 good FULL fantasy season in his career.  So Forrest is in his right to not be high on him.

Luciano is a regarded prospect.  His highest level so far (A+) has a career bat line of .255/.324/.407 not necessarily living up to his potential.  At 20 years old there is still high risk of him not performing to his talent.

Blue Jays are receiving an IF in Aranda who has a career minors avg of .299 most of those ABs in AA/AAA and has a career .293 in the Mexican pro leagues. 
Colas had 730 PA in Japan with 28 HRs 116 RBI and .826 OPS and with 100 PA so far in AA has a 1.139 OPS
Overall Blue Jays were after team control and prospects who are MLB ready with proven background at the levels they have played at so far.

Just my perspective again.  I respect our voting process!

Older prospects from Japan,  Cuba etc haven't necessarily translated. Amanda shows he can hit but not much else. Colas may be Puig may be worse who knows. Pedigree and upside of Luciano is HUGE per scouts across the board.Mus Grove has struggled etc of late but broke out last yr and again this year is a top 15 to 20 arm on very affordable deal and is free this yr per deal

It's rather easily argued the 2 best pieces are both going to LA from my perspective at least 
At any rate just my 2 cents


At any rate is what it is, let votes happen and whatever shakes out , so be it
