that would be the only reason this trade can be valuable to Atlanta, is if they know it will land them Adrian, in which, it helps New York even MORE, because he didn't go to Boston.
They are consenting adults, so you should be OK with it.
He's not. I know a few Yankee fans that don't like it.Quote:

Vazquez is, at the very worst, a very durable league average pitcher. Career ERA+ in the AL is 102, in the NL is slightly better at 110. Getting that for a fourth outfielder, middle reliever and far-off pitching prospect is a steal.Quote:

The real effect is putting Joba into the setup/closer role where he belongs so it makes absolute sense. Also, Vazquez is still young and as good as any other pitcher that went free agent this year. I just remember him coming out of Montreal as the next Pedro and then it went to Hell. I shouldnt allow bad memories of the guy cloud my judgement since he is now a reliable 2-3 pitcher.
I hope they can get a Matt Holliday type player for left....Quote:

Is Ozzie Guillen's opinion really that valuable?
He's a league average pitcher who had great stuff last season. Melky no longer had a starting job. Sorry, the smart thing to do is ship him.
