I'm in the clear minority but there's a few of us hiding out on here. I only want Garza traded if it's for great value, which I'm not sure the Cubs can get now. My thoughts as well. If we get blown away by stellar value, trade him. No less, though.
I'm fine with just spiting the Dodgers at this point. Haha, me too. Piss off the Dodgers and Demp. That said, looking at Campos' stats, I really like this kid. He'd make me feel slightly better about missing Delgado.
Probably has to do with him refusing to go to the OF (or was it refusing to play 2B? I can't remember for sure) while in Washinton. Once a player gets tagged as something, it pretty much never goes away.
The more I hear about Gould, the less I like him. Aren't there questions on whether Webster's a starter or reliever in the majors? I might just be making that up....
I actually thought about this scenario a little earlier. I really like Delgado, moreso than Vizcaino (more of a sure thing, a certain starter vs Vizcaino being questionable to stick) so I'd probably take most any scenario where Delgado was included. It really depends on what else was out there for Maholm though.
Oops, you're right. He just seems older to me for some reason. Probably because the Cubs played against him about 300 times prior to arriving here. It did seem like he pitched against us in every series.
I guess I'm just not impressed enough with Brigham to be all that bothered if we missed on him. I feel the same with this trade as I did with the Z/Volstad trade - it was probably fair value, but if we got a little greedy and ultimately missed out on the trade, it's not that big a loss.
And Dempster and Maholm are 35, that's really old for pitchers. Like I said before, I'm fine with the Soto trade, just kinda feel like we could have gotten more had we waited.
