http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8882368/Sources:-Braves-look-to-deal-for-ChiSox's-Vazquez?CMP=OTC-K9B140813162&ATT=49


:dance:

I hope this happens because I am sick of Javy. He has great stuff, and good peripherals, he just can never seem to put it together. He can dominate a game when he is actually putting that shit together, but more often than not, he gets kicked around by teams. As I understand, neither Reyes or Lillibridge are that exciting of players, but at least we trim $12 M from payroll and get 2-3 young players with potential.


EDIT:

Braves Get:
SP Javier Vazquez (32)
RP Boone Logan (24)

White Sox Get:
2B Brent Lillibridge (25)
C Tyler Flowers (22)
RP Santos Rodriguez (20)
3B Jon Gilmore (20)

So I guess Jo-Jo Reyes is no longer in the deal. Fuck. I don't want Lillibridge to be the best player we get back.

Now I am hearing it could be Tyler Flowers included along with Lillibridge and one other.

YES PLEASE! Flowers is the Braves #5 prospect who hit .288 last year in A-Ball and had a .427 OBP. He also hit 17 HR and hit 32 doubles. This kid is only 22-years-old and is supposed to be pretty damn good. His only weakness seems to be his defense.

7:05pm: MLB.com's Mark Bowman says the White Sox will actually receive four players in the deal. They'll choose from a list of five, with Flowers and Lillibridge their top targets.


Damn not bad for the Sox.

CHILL


Seems like following the AL Central Division Championship, the White Sox are going the direction of rebuilding (or getting younger) this offseason. Not that that's a bad move because I don't think they would have repeated in 2009.

I think it's a good example of a team wanting a Pitcher so bad, they overpay for one.
