Garza > Dempster

 

[McNei1y]

And other NL teams are getting better. Oh God, Oh Man, Oh God, Oh Man.

 

[RBH]

Isn't Garza injured right now?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Should have thrown Jurrjens into the trade just to get rid of him.

 

[Windu]

Isn't Garza injured right now?

i think they said he was fine to make his next start.

 

[Jubs]

Rather have garza, but he'd have cost at least a Teheran.

If we can extend dempster to a manageable extension, i'll be okay w/ this trade.

 

[Windu]

Trout for Grienke seems fair if that is the way the market is going.

(Teheran for Garza would be way too much, just like Delgado for Dempster).

Yep, that's how I feel. Unless this rental turns into a World Series victory.

I should post in this thread more, but I usually just stick with college football.. I'm cool with this Dempster trade if they can get him locked in for a few years. Giving up Delgado for him is fine with me, as long as we're not giving up a top prospect for only half a season. Got to lock him in for a few years. With Chipper falling off the books next year, maybe they'll have the money.

Delgado was a/is a top prospect. I just don't see Dempster's value + the money that would be required to sign him any better than keeping Delgado for 6 years at low cost. Dempster is the better pitcher at the moment, but not by that much and I would put my money on Delgado being the better pitcher going forward.

THERE IS NO TRADE dont know where this info came from!

wat

 

[eznark]

lol

 

[darkside31337]

Isn't he 10-5? Somebody would actually have to ask him hes getting traded, how would he not know he just got traded?

 

[McNei1y]

now what's going on!

 

[Windu]

is that his real twitter account?

The problem is that Delgado isn't there yet. And they're only a couple games back from the Nationals now (with Strasburg supposedly approaching a mythical cutoff point). They could use a dependable and consistent arm there now. Sheets looks to have been a huge pickup for almost nothing.

So long as Vizcaino and Teheran are still there and we can keep Dempster for a few years then I think this is a reasonable trade.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Dempster just posted on Twitter there is no trade and he's still with the Cubs as of this moment, but ESPN says it's a technicality since they are waiting for MLB to approve the deal because of the finances involved.

 

[eznark]

^ lol

Not verified but he has 10,000 followers

 

[PantherLotus]

is that his real twitter account?

It was RT'd by Muskat, so probably. Not that we haven't all been fooled before. Probably just a case of the player finding out last, as always.

Yeah but in this case they actually have to ask him since he has 10-5 rights. They can't just trade him without telling him.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Dempster already said a few weeks ago he would accept trades, so he probably already waived it.

Braves vacated the trade

Joe Sheehan ‏@joe_sheehan
The #Braves have vacated the Dempster trade.

Dave O'Brien posted that it's a done deal. If he posted it, I'm pretty sure that it really is a done deal.

Maybe they're trading Delgado for Yunel Escobar instead.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

SOMEONE MAKE UP THEIR MIND. What does "vacated the trade" even mean?

 

[eznark]

Sheehan was making a PSU joke apparently, not actually saying the Braves vacated the trade.

 

[Windu]

Windu reports that he did not laugh.

SOMEONE MAKE UP THEIR MIND

sometimes i hate twitter. Its probably my own damn fault for watching this stuff so closely though.

This tweet is some kind of joke about PSU.

 

[eznark]

This tweet is some kind of joke about PSU.

every time!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Braves recall OF Jose Constanza, option RHP Anthony Varvaro.

Delgado traded for Dempster AND Constanza's return? This is Windu's dream day.

 

[Jubs]

Maybe we traded for the better, younger Cubbie, Garza?

 

[eznark]

He has 10/5, probably just trying to get something out of this for himself.

hahaha. That is pretty good actually.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Garza is better than Dempster?

 

[eznark]

hahaha. That is pretty good actually.

Except that he has been making the same stupid joke all day long.

 

[PantherLotus]

He's been doing that all day. No idea why he thinks it's funny.

 

[cashman]

I bet the Braves wish they vacated the Mark Teixeira trade.

Except that he has been making the same stupid joke all day long.

Well that is a bit of a bummer

 

[CygnusXS]

Will withhold commentary until details are clarified.

 

[andycapps]

I'd take back the Mike Hampton deal.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I'd take back the Mike Hampton deal.

The Hampton deal was fine because the Marlins paid a lot of that money.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Everyone is pretty much in agreement that the Dempster-for-Delgado deal is done and all they are waiting on is Dempster to waive his 10-5 no-trade.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Except that he has been making the same stupid joke all day long.

They should turn the statue so it looks the other way!

 

[Dominican Power]

Why do The Phillies think they have leverage when it comes Victorino? He doesn't warrant top flight prospects. It looks like The Marlins are definitely going to sell with this ongoing losing streak. I think it's time for Hanley to go somewhere else.

 

[darkside31337]

Because Ned Colletti and/or Brian Sabean is probably looking for an outfielder.

Pending Dempster's approval, apparently

 

[cashman]

Ugh, Lewis to the DL again. Martin Perez is back up.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Tigers have acquired Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante from the Marlins.

The firesale has begun.
