guarantee theo has made a bet over dempster's start tonight. If he does well we get higher rated prospects from the team of choice. Beautiful.

Jorge Soler grounds out, shortstop Roberto Velasquez to first baseman Kristian Brito.

This sounds bad: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/international-affairs/2011/2612266.html This sounds good: http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/2012/07/cubs-sign-juan-carlos-paniagua-for-1-5-million/

The average age in the MWL is 22. Rosario is 21. Why does Rosario get the level of interest he gets? Rosario has great stuff, better than Jensen. He has hit 98 and his slider has good potential. Nice K-rate of 8.09 for every 9 IP (a far more important statistic for a minor league pitcher than ERA) and he gets ground balls. He's obviously still a work in progress. As an aside, while he has a 4.22 ERA, he has a 3.48 FIP. Anndd boom goes the dynamite :-$

Garza package deal for Carlos Gonzalez

Dunston Jr. tweets he's heading to Boise

Callis says we took Almora

holy [expletive] appel's there

Would really like to see good ole Tony in the leadoff spot today, has there ever been a more prototypical leadoff guy for us as of late?

BJax has got to cut down on the K's

Now the rumors today are that it's going to be McNutt... can't Selig take one of our middle infielders we seem to have a surplus of? Give them Junior Lake or something, we need the young arms.

You say "get rid of Cashner" as though that was a plus in and of itself. do less

Does anyone else view this trade as a steal for us? We were rumored to be offering up Garza for Rizzo.... instead we get rid of Cashner and take a young pitcher with great upside. Cates 118 IP 111 Ks 53 BBs

I for one am on the Rizzo bandwagon hardcore, he has the potential to be Adrian Gonzalez lite.
