It seems to me that in a lot of the trade rumors involving C.Lee, we'd be getting shafted. I'm confident that Carlos could be a legit MVP candidate, given he had the right supporting cast (a leadoff hitter who gets on base, and a #2 hitter who does the same). I haven't heard any legit rumors confirmed by Bruce Levine or Peter Gammons, but from what I've seen posted here and on Whitesox.com, we'd be "settling" for players who fit our needs.
I'm not terribly crazy about the prospect of trading for Vazquez. In my mind, he's slightly better than Garland, but with a much higher ceiling. Another rumor was C.Lee and Diaz for Scotty Pods and Doug Davis. Finally, C.Lee and Garland for Bautista and Hinske. These all blow!!! I don't think Kenny would pull the trigger on any of the above deals aside from Vazquez one.
What do you guys think???
