And how about the Braves getting Jair Jurrjens for the corpse of Edgar Renteria?

I would take Vazquez in a hearbeat to be on the staff.

“the phillies got cliff lee without giving up their premiere prospects to boot”

kinda like how we got Santana without giving up our top prospects?

Also, the reason why the Braves got Vazquez and Lowe is b/c they overpaid for Lowe. That’s part of the reason they are now trying to dump him.

javier vasquez sounds a lot better than oliver perez…how did the braves get both vasquez and lowe last year and we ended up with perez…the phillies got cliff lee without giving up their premiere prospects to boot….ay yi yi…it seems like some teams mgmts are more on the ball than others…and no one is responsible except for maybe a third base coach (not that he didnt suck too)…

This sounds great:

“made 30 starts, and finished the year 15-10 with a 2.87 ERA in 219 1/3 innings pitched”

This, for some reason, does not:
