Braves acquire Javier Vazquez

Not sure as of yet who all is involved. The White Sox will recieve 2 or 3 players.

Maybe somebody can help me out here........Why in the hell do you give away one of your top young bats for a guy who at this point in his career, is basically just an innings eater.

I know the Braves pitching is awful, but this deal makes no sense to me. Yes I knowthe Braves have McCann but Flowers projected as a 1B or LF anyway.......and yes I know the Braves have Freeman to be their future 1B......but Flowers can rake........I am not impressed.:angry: :angry:

All I can say is that the Braves wanted more and more pitching. They are going to sign AJ Burnett apparently to a 5 year deal. I know they need pitching but they also need bats. Why trade bats to get a pitcher who in my opinion isn\'t that great. Besides Smoltz, Hudson, Glavine he\'s better then what they had.
