Hard to believe that both the Dodgers and Braves will stand pat
with their rotations.
Braves supposedly not interested in anyone who would not be top
3 in rotation for playoffs. Isn't Dempster the only practical
option, if he consents to a trade now that the deadline
approaches? Dodgers wanted to improve their rotation before
losing one member in trade.
Interesting scenarios.

Lilly is about to come off the DL.
Atlanta was on a winning streak which can often cloud reality.

Dodgers still need another pitcher though.

If I'm the Dodgers, I have Kershaw, Billingsley, Capuano,
Harang, and Lilly coming off the DL. In post season, they only
need 3.
I don't think they feel they MUST have another pitcher. It
would be great to get someone as good as Dempster, but...

The Dodgers are going to be in a dogfight to win the West.
Dempster could be key for them.

Do they have to win the West?

If the Cub front office IS upset with Dempster, they should just
trade for Lilly. That would be hilarious.

Wild card is a real crapshoot, Curt. It would be huge for the
Dodgers to win the West.

I think the Dodgers can get by without trading for a starter.
But the Braves have no choice but to add one. They can't really
count on the health of Sheets, Hudson, or Hanson. And they
can't count on performance from Minor, Jurrjens, or Medlen.
They don't have a single pitcher in their rotation who profiles
as really reliable.
If we get within an hour or two of the deadline and it becomes
clear the Dodgers aren't an option for Dempster, the Cubs are
going to have the leverage to get something good from the
Braves.
