White Flag is up?

Off the Chron.:

"The White Flag Trade has some relevance for the 2008 Giants because general manager Brian Sabean might move potential free agents such as Rich Aurilia, Ray Durham and Omar Vizquel, and perhaps some relief pitchers, for prospects in deals that could benefit the team for the future at the expense of winning a weak National League West. Foxsports.com reported Monday that the Brewers, whose farm system remains loaded even after the Sabathia deal, are interested in Durham and lefty Jack Taschner. Schueler, now a senior adviser to Sabean, believes the White Flag Deal not only helped the White Sox win their division in 2000, but set in motion a rebuilding of the farm system that his successor, Kenny Williams, used to help build the 2005 World Series championship team. Older potential free agents such as Aurilia, Vizquel and Durham probably would not attract prospects labeled as future stars, but even mid-level prospects could help. For the Giants to attract the kind of power hitter they desperately need, they probably would have to dig into their store of prospects."
