TransAction Thursday

The NSFW Flowers only believe in one Sosa this year, and it's not Jorge. So, he, along with one (1) whole dollar are sent to parts unknown in favor of Javier Vazquez. We may not know for sure whether Mr. Vazquez is the third, fourth or fifth starter for the Chicago White Sox based upon his performance to-date, but the question of what will come first remains: he pitches a colloquially known "quality start" or is dropped in favor of the next mediocre pitcher? I'm giving even odds.

My thoughts on this acquisition?



Like any good franchise, All The Wrong Cubs seek to expand, and branch out farther into the NL Central Division, namely through the acquisition of Houston Astro starting run-enabler Wandy Rodriguez. The venture capital required was $1, which shall be assessed at the end of DCBA Year 2007 against the luxury-of-wasting-fantasy-money tax. As everyone knows, Mr. Wandy comes with blurry eyes that flash at the sound of long flies. Lyle Overbay, even at a fair price you are still too much, so ATWC have written you off yet again.

Nopedate: Mr. Wandy gave up 5 ER in 5 IP last night versus NL West offensive juggernaut Arizona (collectively hitting .247/.319/.388).
