Would could the Oriole's possibly offer for Dempster? Their farm pretty much dies off entirely after Bundy/Machado/Schoop. Matusz is about the only thing I can think of and that isn't all that thrilling.

As was said, 20% is really where you want to be. I can't imagine his numbers would be very impressive in an offense suppressed FSL with a 25% K rate. -
I can honestly say there is not a single White Sox prospect that isn't from the 2012 draft, that I would want for Dempster. Is Cody Buckel from the Texas Rangers unrealistic? Still only in High A, but you can't argue with those numbers.

Trying not to get my hopes up, but this farm desperately needs a break through pitcher or two. -
That was actually painful to read; the entire time I reading that I was simultaneously cringing and feeling embarrassed on the writer's behalf.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-12-12
Tryptamine replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Brad Eldred, he's over 30 years old. Nothing to see there. meh I figured it was some minor league journeyman Zuleta type. Who's he tied with? Same type? He's tied with elite prospect Wil Myers of the Royals. He's a top 10 guy at this point, maybe even top 5. -
Hooray, I can focus on work again.
-
I am so sick of hearing about how so and so is a very good NL pitcher but would get rocked in the AL, or so and so is an average AL pitcher but would dominate the NL. If there is even a half run difference I would be surprised.
-
Oh god, announce it already or I wont get to find out until tomorrow night.
-
I mean... it'd be better if the number weren't huge. well yeah, but it's not like if he gets 40M instead of 30M that I'm going to wish we hadn't signed him. Unless this signing keeps the Cubs from signing someone like Hamels, then I don't see any reason to be remorseful about the amount spent. Of course this is all pending the result.
-
Why is that unfortunate? If it's not eating up the ability to go after FA's next year then whatever.

Must control man crush...... -
$40 million seems like too much unless we have an incredible scouting read on him that says he's getting close to MLB ready. You are really cutting away at the risk:reward ratios at that point. Last year of uncapped spending with a ton of money unspent from this year. I personally don't care if they spend 40M. It looks like that money is just going to go unspent if they don't get Soler.
-
What, no Haren? Too old. The Cub way requires that you be euthanized at age 30. Kind of like Logan's run.
-
Soler is a must have. There's tons of money left over, it's the final uncapped international free agency and Soler helps solve the lack of "Impact talent" problem. If they don't end up with Soler then I'm going to be concerned about where this team is going.
-
WTF is all this? It's as if the people at Cubs.com found their way into this thread.
-
Correa, McCullers, Virant.....there is no way they get all 3.
-
Marisnick,Nicolino,Syndergaard. Make it happen Theo.
-
....sigh
-
and now I'm going to go cry.....
-
He went boom or bust, that's fine with me if he saves money in doing that. If he spends it at 56 then I"m really happy.
-
I'm going to cross my fingers that Theo things he can get Piece and Almora below slot and he splurges a little on 56.
-
Not happy, not angry, just kind of meh.
-
Nice timing on the commercial....
-
Ok Theo you know what to do. Smoral, make it happen.
