If I were Ken Williams I would have punched him in the stomach after reading Moneyball.

Yeah there HAD to be better deals . . . those two appear to suck, although Hudson's is far better than Mulder's.
On the bright side, there's a special ring in hell for Ken Williams, and though Beane didn't need to be a dick about it, he definitely beat Kenny around like a little bitch in basically every deal they ever did.

Vasquez goes immediately to the white sox for Konerko, Rauch, and a prospect, according to reports . . . Kenny Williams, he still sucks.
It's a decent start for the Dodgers, but they'll need to turn the cash into someone important (delgado? beltran? varitek?) or the media will pee in their mouths . . .
