This holiday season, those on Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen's naughty list are getting a new mailing address instead of the normal lump of coal in their holiday stocking. 

Once again, White Sox GM Kenny Williams has dealt a player from Guillen's doghouse, this time starter Javy Vazquez.  Along with Vazquez, relief pitcher Boone Logan have been dispatched to Atlanta for a package of four young players: catching prospect Tyler Flowers, infielder Brent Lillibridge, Class A third baseman Jon Gilmore and  left-hander Santos Rodriguez.

I'm not going to go through the names and tell you what each of these guys can do, where they will be on the depth chart of what the immediate impact of this trade will be or even if this is a good trade.  Why? Because Trader Kenny isn't done yet. 

There are still plenty of the pieces of the 2009 puzzle to be assembled and any analysis at this juncture would be premature.

What we can talk about is what we know, which is that Lopez and Logan (and the earlier departed Nick Swisher) were not getting the job done.  Even on a team that won the 2008 Central Division title,. Ozzie Guillen demands that all 25 men pull equally as hard on the rope.  Swisher was pouting too much to pull on the rope, Vazquez couldn't pull on the rope when he was counted on and Logan damn near set the rope on fire.  So, Williams sent them away, bulking up his farm system with prospects who may or may not wear a Sox uniform in the future.

Now, with Vazquez gone, the Sox (on paper, at this moment) have but three proven starters left (Buehrle, Danks, Floyd.)  It's obvious that starter four may be Clayton Richard.  But again, what if, out of left field, the Sox went out and picked up a C.C. Sabathia or a Jake Peavy.  That would change the entire dynamics of the pitching staff.  And that's why any thoughts on what we will see in Glendale in February are a little early at best.

If you look at what the Sox do have right now, it is a glut of young, unproven infielders.  Names like the just acquired Brent Lillibridge (who Kenny is supposed to love), Chris Getz, Jason Nix, Wilson Betemit, Josh Fields and the Cuban Sandwich are all in the mix right now.  Where the Sox lag behind is in the outfield where the only player guaranteed to be where he is supposed to be on opening day is Carlos Quentin.  Jermiane Dye is rumored to be on the trading block and I wouldn't give you a nickle for the chances of either Brian Anderson or Jerry Owens to be on the roster opening day.  In fact, I could see either Anderson or Owens being added to the growing list of players in the Kenny Williams player relocation program. 

I find all the reports of Williams being ordered to cut payroll silly.  If he is cutting payroll, it's because he wants to buy something and needs to dump some salary to do it.  Or, he is about to make another blockbuster trade and needs to clear some salary to afford it.  The White Sox are the only team in baseball that operate with a self-imposed salary cap.  Either way, his budget is where it was last year, possibly higher because of the playoff run.

Repeating our top story, TRADER KENNY ISN'T DONE YET and any thoughtful analysis at this point would be like forming an opinion of your holiday presents after opening only one.
