    79 strikeouts in 108 IP is electric?

    What would you consider killing it?

    It is pretty well known that singleton is their best hitter and cossart was their best pitcher.

    One "scouting report" if you will of Zeid. Nothing official, just a Phillies fan take.

    Just because they were the best the Phillies had to offer doesn't make them good. Both have very underwhelming stats at A ball.

    Sad to see him go, but love the trade.

    Singleton is young and so is Cosart. An 800 ops at 19 years old in a pitchers league in high A ball isn't anything to scoff at. Cosart has said he's been told to pitch to contact this year in order to go further in games. He struck out 77 in 71 innings last year. Guy has a big time arm period.

    I put this in another post. He had 77 strikeouts in 71 innings last year. He has said that he has been told to pitch to contact more to go further in games this year. He routinely sits in the mid 90s. He hit 98 at the futures game.

    What did you expect to get for Hunter? We got TWO top 45 prospects for an above average player...check out what the Pads got for a Superstar this winter.

    At least one person who had been a great A ball player. We didn't get that.

    Lol, wade never had a shot w you guys. It was teheran or find stuff to complain about

    The trade is solid

    To the genius saying hunter was young enough to be good when we came out of the cellar.. Explain how you were planning on doing that. Need prospects. Need talent. Plus you ignored paying hunter 25 mil over 2 yrs for being a good player on a bad team that doesn't draw fans

    Really surprised ppl aren't happy with this. Got a solid deal

    Cossart has pitched all of 200 innings of minor league ball, he is 21. A lot of the rankings are based on his stuff. He could pan out or he could fizzle. But he does have enormous talent. Singleton is a stud. He is young and improving.

    really disappointed in the trade......basically a 2 for 1 trade with pence being a very very good player and cosart and singleton are struggling in freakin Single A......where the hell was the bidding war....ed wade is trash and need to fire his ass so he can go back to philly.......u had eight team interested and u only came away with 2 players not even in the top half of baseball america 100.....wtf....

    I thought early reports had cosart, singleton, AND dominic brown and they were tryin to flip brown to NY for one of their top pitching prospect Betance.....

    Ed wade era sux just as much as tim purpura except now we do not have our top assets anymore........Roy O, Berkman when he was good, B Myer last yr....we didnt get crap for those guys and have GMs around the league laughing at houston.....just trash
