White Sox, Braves complete deal sending Vazquez to Atlanta
Logan was 2-3 with a 5.95 ERA in 55 appearances with the White Sox in 2008. He has a 4-4 record with a 5.87 ERA in 144 games over three seasons with Chicago.
The 6-foot-4, 248-pound Flowers, who is 22, gained attention when he hit 12 homers in 20 games in the Arizona Fall League. He batted .288 with 17 homers at Class A Myrtle Beach last season.
"I think this guy will be an All-Star catcher," Williams said, adding the White Sox had no plans to move him to another position. "For his size, he has a lot of agility behind the plate and he throws the ball extremely well. ... I think he will be a heck of an offensive catcher and a solid defensive catcher behind the plate."
Lillibridge hit .200 in 80 at-bats with Atlanta last season. He spent most of the season with Triple-A Richmond, batting .220.
Gilmore, a third baseman, batted .294 with four homers and 35 RBI in 94 games with Advanced Rookie Danville and Class-A Rome in 2008.
The 6-foot-5 Rodriguez was 1-2 with a 2.79 ERA in 14 relief appearances with the Gulf Coast League Braves in 2008.
Williams said he didn't foresee another major deal as he heads off to the winter meetings, which begin Monday in Las Vegas.
Earlier this offseason, the White Sox dealt Nick Swisher and right-hander Kaneoka Texeira to the New York Yankees for pitching prospect Jeff Marquez, infielder Wilson Betemit and minor league pitcher Jhonny Nunez.
The White Sox also hope to finalize a deal with young Cuban star Dayan Viciedo.
With the departure of Vazquez, Chicago's starting rotation could feature Mark Buehrle, John Danks, Gavin Floyd, Clayton Richard and Marquez. Veteran right-hander Jose Contreras is coming off a ruptured Achilles'.
"We've got good, veteran players who continue to produce year after year. If I had to guess as I sit there right now, I don't foresee any other movements with any of our other veteran players," Williams said, adding he will be in more of a listening mode at the winter meetings than an aggressive one.
