Garcia to Phils for Gavin Floyd and prospect
So far, it seems like Phillies fans love the deal, and White Sox fans hate it. Ken Williams apparently let it slip that the prospect involved in the deal is Gio Gonzalez, who the Phils acquired in the Thome deal
As a Phillies fan, I have a lot of worries about this trade. Gavin Floyd's stuff has never impressed me that much, but he's still young, and has been highly touted since being drafted. We kind of know what we're getting in Garcia, not exactly top of the rotation kind of stuff, while the deal could easily blow up in the Phils' face if Floyd turns out to be a late bloomer
