@BleacherNation Delgado would be great. and Way less than what many are asking.

 

 

(Many are asking Teheran)

Delgado would be a very nice return. I'm a tad skeptical (about Delgado coming back), though.

Ppl on the Braves.com message board are freaking out, saying Delgado is way too much, and they think Delgado and Teheran are pretty close in talent.

Kaplan:

 

Ryan Dempster traded to Atlanta. Sources tell me Cubs made great deal to land young pitching. I am working on names. Back at u all shortly.

[Old Style]

Hate to see Demp go as he's become one of my favorite Cubs, but this is the right move. Hopefully he comes back next year.

If we got multiple pitchers with Delgado being one them it would be a great deal for Dempster

He did break the Harden trade, didn't he?

If Delgado is one, any others would have to be throw-ins. You'd have to think so, anyway.

Kaplan might be a tool, but he's broken some news.

 

Though the Theo business really made him look bad.

Different FO. I'm not sure he (or any of the other Chicago media members) have the connections they used to.

Is that the pitching equivalent of grit?

Kaplan is an idiot, but he does have a history of breaking stories.

 

Also, I ventured over to Talking Chop, and saw someone suggest that if Delgado was going, that they better be getting Reed Johnson or Shawn Camp back too. They appeared to be serious.

I think his connections are Crane Kenney related.

Braves.com had similar sentiments. They mentioned Reed and Russell. Def not joking.

[SouthSideRyan]

If we trade Camp, are we just going to start forfeiting games in the 7th inning?

[javy knows my name]

Delgado seems to have been rushed recklessly through the minors. 20 innings at AAA before a callup to stay at 21? Just why?

[Guest]

If the Cubs are getting Randall Delgado, that's highway robbery.

[davell]

Names from the Braves- Elite is Teheran and Delgado(I like Delgado more), Minor and Gilmartin are more than solid returns for Dempster in their own right. JR Graham, Zeke Spruill, Kris Medlen are all names that could be the lead piece and we could be OK with it, if we got more than one of them. Luis Merejo is a very interesting lefty they signed last offseason that has a ridiculous W/K rate in rookie league and is opening eyes.

[Cubswin11]

What does Delgado all throw? Where does he typically sit with velo?
