    Hey, we're making progress! Someone finally realized that Soriano has value and the Cubs don't need to pay his entire salary while getting nothing in return. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/07/rosenthal-on-orioles-liriano-soriano-diamondbacks.html

    Nice. Did that just go up?
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    Gary?
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    Maybe he is a very heavy sleeper.
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    I'm hoping maybe it's just something trivial holding the deal up like Dempster not having had a chance to discuss the move with his family yet.
  6. Irrelevant Dude
    New media is becoming increasingly infuriating.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    Isn't it in his best interest to accept a trade anyway so that he can sign a contract in the offseason without costing the team a compensation pick? That would seem to increase his market value.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    it has no effect on his trade value. I don't buy that. Yes, we are mostly overreacting, but there may be teams sitting on the fence who could be swayed by 1 good or bad outing. not even ned colletti is THAT stupid. It is 1 start out of 15. You can't just completely throw it out and say it will have no bearing on his trade value, especially coming off an injury. In the grand scheme of things, the impact will probably be minimal... but I don't agree with anyone who says it has no effect whatsoever.

    Well this must really be driving up his trade value... One batter retired on what should have been ball 4, then 4 straight singles.

    I am mildly annoyed by all the reports of teams being interested in Dempster but unwilling to give up top prospects for a "rental player". Yes he may be a rental, but he is a virtually cost-free (assuming the Cubs are picking up the salary) starting pitcher who can plug right in as a #2 starter in almost any rotation. That is a difference-making piece for a playoff team, so they better be willing to give up something more than mid-tier guys.

    Anyone know anything about this guy? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/07/cubs-sign-juan-carlos-paniagua.html

    http://mlb.sbnation.com/2012/7/18/3166679/mlb-draft-lottery-competitive-balance/in/2930718 This has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard and that is an impressive feat considering that it had to beat out the All-Star game determining home field advantage.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    Dunn not on deck. What the hell?
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    That's because Furcal knows how to field a knuckleball.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Kinsler pulled up on purpose there.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Great commercial. Kerry sure is looking skinny though.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Dempster goes into the break with a 1.99 ERA.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Same location 3 times in a row. Why would the 3 one suddenly be a strike?
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    I can't believe he caught that.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    I wish Rizzo would hit a ball hard one of these days.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Has he done anything to indicate otherwise? I imagine he will be a serious non-tender candidate in the offseason.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    He is in the dugout managing tonight. Oops. I caught some dugout shots of McKay and Bosio and incorrectly assumed that Sveum wasn't there.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Where is Sveum tonight?
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    I really hope the Cubs can find a taker for Garza, because I sure as hell don't want to give him top of the rotation money.
