The Latest Vazquez Rumors
Still don't know all the players in the proposed Vazquez deal, but we need a new thread.
As of right now, the latest info has the Sox receiving a package of 4 prospects picked from a list of 5. Best guess at their names appears to be Brent Lillibridge (for sure) Tyler Flowers (almost positive), Jon Gilmore (until we hear different) and Santos Rodriguez (I think).

Of course, Rotoworld has to be the one site to put a negative spin on it for the Sox.
The AJC’s Dave O’Brien reports that the White Sox will get Tyler Flowers, Brent Lillibridge, Jon Gilmore and Santos Rodriguez from the Braves for Javier Vazquez and Boone Logan.
Incredibly, the White Sox won’t be getting back any advanced pitching in the deal, though Rodriguez does have a live arm. Flowers is a significant talent and Lillibridge is probably better than he showed last season, but this still looks like a nice deal for Atlanta
Still have Dye to trade.
:D
I don't need to look at fancy stats

checked out the braves SB Nation site
they all seem to be ok with the deal. most dont like giving up flowers, but realize what the price is for a #3 starter

You trade one prospect in a team's top ten for anything
and you’re going to get a group of Debbie Downers.

the outrage on this site last year when we traded for swisher.

i had no clue this site existed

there was lots of gnashing of teeth and rending of garments
I don’t want my beer to taste like fruit or honey. I want pussy to taste that way.
I was pissed too
But I would have killed a bitch had I known things would turn out the way they did. Luckily, that shock was spread over the course of 8 months, festering itself deep inside me so that I can add it to the giant cheese ball of depression and lost hope that grows on my cerebellum.

Is this Homer Simpson?
Cheese balls – mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
For some reason I feel like having a Cuban sandwich.
a huge portion of the conversations prior
to that trade were about how horrible our farm system were and how we should have been rebuilding… then that happened and all hell broke lose.

Flowers
Is Flowers highly regarded? The one article I saw said he was undrafted.
he was drafted in the nfl...undrafted in the bigs....braves signed him out of nowhere
now we’re getting him for vazquez, and sending him directly to the bears to play qb

From My Dead New Thread:
“Also: we’ve got 1 hour until the site goes down for 2. That will be fun. Most among us have already mentioned that they’re neglecting something important in their actual lives to track this development. And if you missed it, there’s a ton of good stuff in Cheat’s Javy Post not to mention the comments. Wading through 500+ comments would be daunting for the more well-rounded fanbases elsewhere. That’s where real life-crippling obsession comes in, baby!”

We now desperately need a starting pitcher.

you just rattled off the two pitchers you’d be incredibly fortunate to get 200 innings out of next year, find someone a little more reliable

isn't one incredibly fortunate to get 200 innings out of any pitcher?
30 guys did it last year.
JERRY OWENS
you are the king of the universe of using hyperbole
regardless, KW doesn’t use scrubs and generally high-risk pitchers in 3/5 of the rotation, so we’re good.

I did a google image search of Tyler Flowers, and this is what I got
He’s heavy all right, but he looks like an athlete nonetheless
And a Caucasian pacifier.
Already he’s got an excuse to be on the couch in 20 years.
For some reason I feel like having a Cuban sandwich.
I like a solidly built catcher
but no Cubs fans. Pass.
So that's probably
Flowers – B/B+
Lillibridge – C+
Gilmore – C-
Rodriguez – C-
or so?

so are you less enthused that we don't have morton in the package?
by onlysoxfaninboston on Dec 2, 2008 8:46 PM CST up reply actions
yeah
just because players that young have very high attrition rates and are therefore unlikely to ever contribute. someone who’s got a major league arm fits in somewhere.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
using my own ranking
Flowers — Top Prospect w/ Elite Prospect potential if he sticks behind plate and continues development at AA and above.
Gilmore - Plain Ol’ Prospect - Former first rounder, young for league. Hasn’t shown too much.
Lillibridge — Suspect — Poor contact skills and declining plate discipline fortell short stay in majors before career toiling in minors.
Rodriguez — Suspect — Good numbers as league repeater. Bullpen arm, hasn’t reached A-ball yet.

Flowers just called me, confirmed he’s in the deal, pending physicals.
So that bodes well.

i think i still wanna see morton or reyes in this deal
Thank you,
these bumblefucks think the Sox are going to trade Dye. I said I would cancel my membership on here in martyrdom of Dye being traded.
and do you still want to discuss BA vs JO?

what?
im all for BA in that one buddy
Thank you,

me too.
but it really doesn’t make a ton of sense from the Braves’ perspective to be giving up major league ready arms. it’s basically Flowers and depth pickups, adding some percentage points at starter and 3B. an advanced arm would be nice in addition.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
percentage points at SS too.
it sounds like Lillibridge seriously screwed up his own swing. if he’s got, say, a 10% chance of getting back on track, that helps infield depth either way.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
they're major league ready
in the sense that they’re available to get pounded like pamela anderson’s gooch in the majors. pass

Stop posting irrelevant links. Do you think Flowers is part of the deal?
Step it up, buddy. Thin ice. Look at me. Thin.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Hes dead weight!
