Tor-LAD

[AndyP]

Toronto sends:

Rigo Tamayo 87 SP
Mike Elliot 83 OF

to LAD for:

Theo Shacky 85/89 OF
Tony Kynaston 69/87 SP

I drafted Kynaston, still like him. But I think Shacky just will mash in my park. I see him outhitting his vitals for me with that lefty bat in my hitter-friendly park. I have a glut of pitching in AAA so I'm moving one of them to add a valuable bat.

I needed to make a move to try and contend this year. But, I wanted players that can help me for many years. Both the players I received are young and cheap. Tamayo won 20 games last year as a 22 year old. Ellliot is a guy that can hit over .300 every year. Fits good in my lineup full of power hitters.

Shacky was given an opportunity this year and has underperformed in majors and AAA this year. Maybe he wont live up to his vitals or maybe he just wasn't ready?
