Troy Tulowitzki Finally Traded

Well, it finally happened.  All season Tulo's name was floating around the wire and I finally got the update after not having been able to sleep last night.  I must have known something was amiss in the baseball world.  It's kind of like when you're a parent and you just get that 6th sense telling you he or she is up to something, that's what I had last night.  I got an alert just past 1 AM saying Troy had been traded.  We all knew this was going to happen, but I honestly could not have predicted him going to Toronto, and for Jose Reyes nonetheless.  Regardless, this sets up a very interesting fantasy bump for Tulo.

Yes Troy was playing in the best place to hit for power, Coors Field, but now Troy has an actual supporting cast besides Cargo.  The workload will not be placed on him and the Jays will likely look for power from Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion.  Troy has the opportunity to get on base a bunch and score a plethora of runs for the high octane offense.   Look for him to bat 2nd behind Devon Travis and immediately ahead of Josh Donaldson.   This isn't to say this will hurt his power potential as Troy obviously has the talent to hit home runs as much as he wants, but the pressure won't be on him as it was in Colorado.  All he has to do is get on base and let the big bats bring him home.

The Blue Jays have done this before when they went out and acquired Jose Reyes, but Tulo, if he stays healthy will add a whole lot more power and offense than Reyes was able to during his tenure in Toronto.  Once Tulo gets over the shock of being dealt (picture below) the Jays will be a scary, scary team.
