I don't know about the prospects the phillies traded to the white sox but could we have offered a sweeter trade for the sox.

The Phillies are basically trading to be trading. I'm not that impressed with Garcia, I think if they stuck with Floyd they'd be better off in the long run.

Gonzalez is a 21 year old, lefty....so maybe they see something in him, Floyd hasn't been terribly impressive, but maybe Chicago will be a better fit.
just heard Gonzalez went 7 - 12 in the Arizona Fall League averaged a K/inning....interesting, on the surface i gotta say the Phillies got the best of the ChiSox in this deal

Don't have to, I just think that money could be better spent.
The weird thing is that Gonzalez was traded to the Phillies via the White Sox last year with Rowand. It's odd that the White Sox would trade for one of their prospects back...
I saw on Rotoworld this morning that the Phillies were working on a trade for Turnbow and Mench, giving up Lieber. I guess getting Gracia could be a precursor to that deal.
