We should withhold judgement until all of the details are
known...

I voted for 3 but just as easily could have voted for 1, with a
little bit of 4 thrown in too. To me, both #1 and #3 apply
pretty equally.
I do agree we don't know all of the facts yet, and something
could come out that he misled the Cubs on his willingness to go
to Atlanta. Still, innocent until proven guilty applies, and
even knowing most of what we know now, though, I don't even
really think he's guilty of anything.

I guess that's the crux of my argument on Dempster's side all
along. He has 10/5 rights that he's earned and he has a right
to steer the trade discussion to the best destination for him
possible. And quite frankly, after reading his comments about
the "hammer", I don't even think he's been dishonest with the
fans about his intentions. He said he was going to be looking
out for himself in this thing, and he's not a bad person for
wanting to so. After all, if he's not looking after his best
interests in this, who is?
Unfortunately Dempster's interests don't 100% coincide with the
best interests of my favorite baseball team. I wish they did,
but I respect the fact that they don't. It doesn't make
Dempster a bad person or unreasonably selfish that they don't.

Voted for #4. Would have liked to vote for #3 and to some
extent #1 as well. But #4 is the most compelling to me.

What a disappointment.... I thought this topic was going to be
where Deeg and jiggs would post their offers to find a hitman to
take out Dempster....

There are more people fighting the good fight than I thought.
