Joel Sherman of the New York Post has confirmed that the Yankees have acquired Javier Vazquez and LHP Boone Logan from the Braves for outfielder Melky Cabrera, LHP Mike Dunn and RHP Arodys Vizcaino.

The deal is basically complete, and only pending physicals from all five players involved. Vizcaino, 19, manged a 2.13 ERA in 10 starts (42 1/3 innings) at the Single-A level this year and boasts major upside. Dunn is also a quality young hurler and Cabrera fills a hole for Atlanta, but the Yankees just landed a top-line starter and now have the opportunity to significantly improve their club with a hard-hitting free agent outfielder like Matt Holliday or Jason Bay. It must be nice to have a limitless budget.

eh it's not that bad honestly but wren's still a tosser

okay after more reading this trade is absolutely terrible

arodys has a low a curve ball, mike dunn sucks, and melky is just as good as mclouth, schafer, and diaz. unless you're benching diaz he has to play center field, and then what the hell do you do with mclouth? when heyward comes up in june he won't be playing RF.

Vazquez was cheap as hell and had his best year god damn I hate you frank wren

I was shocked by this trade. Vasquez has a great whip and goes deep into innings. I will have to find this stat but he had this mind boggling # of outs per 9 innings via ground balls that was way ahead of everyone else. One of those Moneyball type deals I guess.

lol no it was just stupid

you traded for a league average outfielder after letting ryan "league average outfielder" walk

apparently they're trying to move these new pieces for dan uggla. they'll probably throw in heyward and mccann just to sweeten the deal

wren is a fuging idiot and combined with the lowe trade he's quickly moving in to wainwright for drew territory

i mean unless this happens i want wren murdered

The Good: Vizcaino's combination of stuff and refinement is rarely found in a teenager. His clean arm action leads to effortless 92-94 mph fastballs that get up to 97 when he reaches back for a bit more, while his smooth mechanics allow him to harness his pitches and pound the strike zone. His power curveball already grades out as big-league average with the projection of becoming a true wipeout offering.

The Bad: Vizcaino is a touch undersized, which limits his projection, although his leg drive helps convince most that he can remain a starter. He telegraphs his changeup, but it's a flaw often found in young power arms. More than anything, he just needs experience.

Perfect World Projection: Vizcaino's ceiling tops that of any pitcher in the system, by a significant margin. It will take time, but the skills are there for him to become an All-Star starter.

oh i agree. The Moneyball deal was meant for the stat about ground balls per 9 innings. Sorry for the flub.

For those scoring at home, pstall will be charged with an error.

Money ball is coming to LA me thinks as Jamie McCourt is going to take Frank to the cleaners. Already down Orlando Hudson and Juan Pierre.

welcome back Vazquez. i'll miss melky but it was a good deal

for a starting pitcher with a 2.87 era, and i was a little worried about how the yanks worked with three guys in rotation later on into the season after Joba didn't perform, even if CC works on like 3 days rest.

Horrible move. Everytime I think the Braves make a step forward, they take two steps backwords. Sh*t, we could've kept Church. Both he and Melky are avg outfielders. I know it's got to be tough trying to move Lowe, but they pulled the trigger to quick on this deal.

      Complementary Football, or: How to Lose a Game

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      There's a lot of Bryce and Evero hate today, as always, but I haven't seen the end of the first half mentioned. I want to highlight it because it's really where we lost the game, it's as infuriating as anything else that happened yesterday, and it hasn't gotten enough attention.  - Just after the 2-minute warning, Arizona kicks a field goal to make it 3-13. The Cardinals have two timeouts left. On the kickoff: Not one, but two holding penalties. Ball's spotted at the 11.  - First play: Inside zone from shotgun, for three yards. Chuba gets up ready to hand the ball immediately to a ref, but nobody else has any urgency. - Second play: Ball doesn't get snapped until 8 seconds left on the play clock. Bryce sprays a pass into the ground in front of Legette. We use 36 seconds of game time, but stop the clock for the opponent. - Third play: Shotgun snap. Bryce throws the ball low to Sanders. Sanders almost reels it in, but can't. Clock stops again. Panthers face 4th and 7. - Fourth down: Punt to Arizona. Dortch returns it 30 yards to the Panthers 45. - Following drive: Arizona uses the short field and both remaining timeouts to score a touchdown as time expires. This is the stuff that doesn't show up in the box score that loses a game, the classic hidden yards: Special teams miscues. Two holding penalties and a long punt return flip the field. Poor time management. Why run the first play if we're not going to run again? Why pass on second down if we're not going to hurry into it? Why not make the opponent use either of their timeouts?  Poor QB play. These kinds of throws get lost in the Bryce post-mortems since they only count as two incompletions, but both were makeable throws. Sacks would have been better than incompletions. He just missed the throws. It's an awful mixture of physical failure and mental obliviousness. I generally think Canales is doing a decent job, but we blew a good chance to go into the half with a game in reach despite everything going wrong. Instead, we made it much, much worse. Considering how close the score was in the end, this two-minute stretch of complete ineptitude is going hang over the rest of the season as a giant missed opportunity.

      I genuinely don't know where the next win is coming from. 5 wins is ambitious.
