Your guess is super stupid. didn't you just learn about sarcasm a couple days ago in this same thread?
-
people just don't understand how james loney changed the very essence of who he is
-
oh i must have missed the part where there was a press conference and he held up a list of teams and the braves were #2 on the list. apparently that was common knowledge and not third-hand whispers down the lane. most people believe that the dodgers are #1, so i'm having a hard time understanding why the braves - nowhere close to los angeles geographically - would be #2. i've seen reports that he'd like to be on the west coast because of family, so maybe the braves were on the list of teams he'd consider but ultimately decided not to play for them. why are you choosing to believe the dodgers rumors but not the atlanta ones?
-
so then why did theo/hoyer come to an agreement with atlanta if dempster didn't give them indications he was willing to go there?
-
we can't even get eovaldi? fuuuuuuuuu

You mock him for "blind loyalty", then turn around and speculate something completely unfounded in order to legitimize your feelings of angst about a situation you have close to no information on. it's pretty obvious that he had indicated he'd go to atlanta. how long ago was it that all those quotes came out about theo and dempster keeping in contact and having discussed where he'd be willing to go? the pictures of them in the empty stands, etc. so knowing that, do you think it's reasonable to think that the cubs front office spent time negotiating with atlanta and COMING TO A TRADE AGREEMENT without being under the impression that he'd accept a deal there? it's common sense. we know theo and dempster have kept in contact and have been on the same page. they wouldn't have come to an agreement with atlanta if they thought dempster was unwilling to go there. You don't even know why the trade hasn't gone through. Think about that for a second. Yes, Dempster has not given his approval yet, but you have no idea why. You're just guessing and calling him a cry baby to appease this misguided sense of entitlement you have. we know exactly why the trade hasn't gone through. there were literally quotes from wren saying that they agreed on the trade and they're just waiting on dempster. it sounds like you don't want to accept that ryan dempster might be doing something kinda shitty here.

this would be fine if he didn't previously indicate he'd accept a trade to atlanta. that is what's annoying.
-
but he gave at least some sort of indication that he would accept a trade to atlanta, otherwise theo/hoyer wouldn't have been spending time on them. that's why i still think he eventually gives the ok. he's just dragging his feet.
-
yea, morosi took it back almost immediately.
-
the astros got alen hanson in the wandy deal fuuuuuuuuu
-
seems like there are a ton of starting pitchers available. not good for us.
-
i'm enjoying the blind loyalty that casto's spray chart has for dempster in this thread. sounds to me like dempster was all geared up for la, then had his feelingd hurt when the atlanta news broke. now he's pouting and stomping his feet to try and regain some power. i bet this still happens. if not, [expletive] ryan dempster. thanks for the 7 walks and all the cringe worthy impressions.
-
if it does end up being more serious than cramps, how serious are triceps injuries? better than forearm injuries, i'm assuming.
-
"cramping in his right tricep" is what len just said is that good?
-
the pirates just batted around on zambrano without a hit.

when was the last time junior lake had a big game? -
http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/8185283/chicago-cubs-ryan-dempster-makes-start-amid-trade-talk i thought the red sox said they were out on dempster.
-
i basically agree (i trust them), but if it's true that gould/withrow or something like that was offered, i'd take it. i wonder if the offers suck and he's waiting for a decent return, or if the offers are decent and he's hoping somebody does something stupid.
-
basically true. phillips will unfortunately win it. phillips range/dwar 4.59/1.0 barneys range/dwar 5.17/2.9 phillips ops: 774 barneys ops: 692 don't be so sure imo, offensively they aren't THAT far apart. pretty confidant barneys got this locked up, honestly. the leagues taken notice of the fact that he has a vacuum attached to him. i didn't say phillips should win it. i said he will. gold glove is an irrelevant award.

he set the ringtone to "who let the dogs out"
-
I believe you can trade a player on the DL. Much more complicated I am sure and reduced value, but it would still be possible. i can't imagine anyone giving up anything of significant value, even if it's a minor injury. especially if guys like hamels/greinke/garza become available.
-
i didn't say anything about aggravating past injuries. i'm saying that any minor injury that's similar in severity to the two he's already has this year would be enough to put him out past the deadline.
