Giants get: SP Ted Lilly SP Luke Hagerty (AAA) SP Felix Diaz (AAA) MR Kenneth Polanco (AA)
White Sox get: LF Jamie Bubela (AAA) SP Mario Ramos (AAA) CL Aaron Whitty (AA) MR Kevin Correia (AA)
Losing Aaron Cook was unfortunate, and a move had to be made to replace him. Hated dealing Bubela as he will be one of the great leadoff men in the game at a cheap price for the next 6 years, but I brought in a SP in Lilly that I feel can do a solid job replacing Cook and did a mini-revamp of my young pitching by bringing in Hagerty and Polanco - 2 talented arms with some youth. Outfield was my most talented and deepest position, so it was a move that needed to be made. Diaz is a swingman/mopup type guy, but he's still young enough to catch a PD.
Thanks and GL to the White Stockings!

Difficult trade to make for me, but i feel like it was the right one... can't wait to see what everyone else thinks. Anyway, Lilly is good but pitching for the wrong team and i need to get rid of my high paid players and he is just the begining this offseason. Letting go of hagety and polonco was difficult, but with 2 top 10 picks, im looking to get that back. Bubela will be playing for a long time and i love having him. Whitty looks solid and Ramos looks like he is just about ready. Hopefully this works out.
GL to the giants

Awful deal James. Bubela is the only good player in that deal and all the others your got are terrible injury prone pitchers. You gave him a proven SP in Lilly, Hagerty who will be a great pitcher, and Polanco who is to be an outstanding closer. I understand you have some 1st round picks coming up but there is no reason to throw talent like this. You should have been able to save Polanco or Hagerty in this deal.

who cares about ted lilly. I do not understand why James was worried about his contract when he was expiring, plus he is solid and can help you win games this year. He also gives up a 5 star prospect in this deal. To get what? A 28 year old in a rebuilding movement? james...
