The Javier Vazquez Trade: Great for the Braves, Questionable for the White Sox
—
The Chicago White Sox have traded Javier Vazquez and Boone Logan to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Brent Lillibridge, Tyler Flowers, Jon Gilmore, and Santos Rodriguez. I respect Kenny Williams. I think he’s an above-average GM, even though he’s not particularly saber-friendly. ...

Thursday Night Bits
Bluebird Banter — ... Beyond the Boxscore thinks the Braves made out well in the Javier Vazquez trade. He is a heck of an upgrade over the starters thay had last year. I'm curious to see how his contract compares to what this year's free agents get. He is being paid a fair bit. I also agree with them about not really understanding what Kenny Williams is doing. I would think the White Sox would have a good shot in a weak AL Central, why not take a run at it? I know the economy isn't good but making the playoffs is worth a lot of money. ...
