Yeah, when the booing gets to Dempster, we can send him and the
balance of his 2013 salary to the Dodgers for table scraps (if
they still want him).

So if ATL doesnt get another SP, before Demp is dealt, you think
Delgado is still on the table?

Greinke's going to get traded so there's another arm in the way
of any Dempster or Garza deal.

No way Delgado is still on the table. Wren is almost as pissed
at this double-cross as Theo.

Greineke is going to cost a whole lot more than Dempster or
Garza, so while he's certainly a factor, it's sort of apples and
oranges.

This is not going to end well.

Grienke will NOT cost a whole lot more than Garza. Grienke is a
rental. Garza has the extra year of control and the comp pick.

Bruce Miles is much admired here, appropriately so. He's not a
shill for anyone, he's not out to create controversy or a
splash, and he's not a bandwagon jumper, like so many writers
are. He has what I consider a very thoughtful and balanced
article on the Dempster situation.

I should have said cost more than Dempster. My mistake. No
idea how Garza stacks up against Greineke - given that deal for
Greineke could include an extension.

Dempster's bad luck that Garza was taken out of the picture when
he was. If the Cubs could have substituted Garza for Dempster,
getting a haul from LA in the process, people would still be
upset with Dempster, but not as upset as now with the
possibility of not being able to make good trades for either
Dempster or Garza.
Hopefully, we'll have a pleasant surprise or two by Tuesday.
Fingers crossed (toes too).
