WTF is going on in chicago?

[BSN07]

Garcia for seemingly not much prospect wise. And now with the rumor of Garland for Taveras and Buscholz. Why is Kenny Williams trading good pitching for ummmm..... i'm not even sure what to call them:dunno: . Why Garland who is most likely the best of the rotation and is signed for 2 more years? Why not Buherle who is a FA after next season. CHW will learn as the Red Sox did last year, never trade away pitching depth.

 

If there in the hunt come the trade deadline, I'm sure they will be trying to re-up the rotation. They don't seem like smart moves to me.

 

 

On a side note as a Sox fan, damn Houston got Garland pretty cheap, makes me wonder what we could have sent in a trade for him. Just curiosity tho:D

I wouldnt want him... he is vastly overated.

yup thats the reason he was cheap

Well, I think that Williams realizes that these guys are overrated, but I think he could have got a lot more for both of them. However, Garland will be good and put up better numbers than Pettitte did last year in Houston, so it won't look good for the Sox next year.

Who knows what's going on in the south side, the north side is where it's at this year. Soriano-D.Lee-A-Ram=$$$.

The Garland deal is being stalled.

You have to think Garland is a bargain if Maddux is getting 10M this year. I dont get it.

[BSN07]

Ya it looks now like it was stalled, Williams is mad at the media and looks like theres another prospect coming the other way too. Now its not so bad a deal when your getting 3 players back for 1.

The Garland-for-Taveras deal is dead. As for the Garcia deal, I liked it. Garcia was very hittable this year except for the last few weeks and it opened up a spot in the rotation for Brandon McCarthy. Also, they got Gavin Floyd and a prospect (Gio Fernandez, who they traded to the Phillies last year in the Thome-for-Rowand trade). Branch Rickey once said "I'd rather trade a player one year too early than one year too late." I think the Garcia trade was of that type.
