===================
Vazquez is scheduled to earn $11.5 million a season for the next two 
years. I have him valued at around $14 million year over this period, 
which means he’s generating $5 million in surplus. Logan is 
arbitration-eligible for the next three seasons. He’s a soon-to-be 
24-year-old lefty reliever with major-league experience. His surplus 
value is harder to project, but it is similar to Vazquez’s.

The prospects the Braves forgo are just that: prospects. Lillibridge was 
horrible in 2008, and nothing special in 2007. Scouts like him, and 
hitting the majors at 24 is a good sign. Flowers is certainly a hot 
prospect. He had a good season in Myrtle Beach and in the Arizona Fall 
League. But, he’s a long way off. He may turn out to be a star or never 
play a game in the big leagues. He’s just not that close. The two lesser

prospects are too far off for me to evaluate.

Final analysis: good deal.

The Braves fill big holes in the rotation and the bullpen without having 
to give up major-league talent. This is exactly the type of move that 
the win-now Braves need to be making. White Sox fans don’t need to fret 
as the team gets some good prospects. Seems like mutually beneficial 
exchange…imagine that.
