Doncha love it when Dave23 and Curt think they are cute?
On the substantive point, just as a PTBNL can be determined
based on after-trade the performance of another player in the
deal, it would seem that the amount of salary a team pays of a
Soriano-style contract could be based on how he does for the new
team, making it a bit more attractive to the team taking on the
large contract.

I think that the amount of cash has to be determined at the time
of the deal.

Does forty votes sound about right?
What are your thoughts re: Ryan Dempster?
The media started a firestorm and he got caught in the middle,
give him a break! 1 (2.5%)
He put Atlanta on his list and should have gone there, he's a
bum! 16 (40%)
He is only exercising his hard-earned bargaining rights, cut him
some slack! 7 (17.5%)
We should withhold judgement until all of the details are
known... 16 (40%)

I've got to agree with that. We got the #9 prospect from the
2nd ranked farm system in baseball and a BA Top 100 prospect in
Villenueva and a guy in Hendricks with a 112:15 strikeout to
walk ratio who probably would have been a Top 15-20 prospect in
their system after this season.
Is it better than Randall Delgado? Probably not, but it's still
a very respectable package. At the very least Dempster opened
the trade market for himself when it was obvious the Dodgers
weren't going to step up and make a fair offer. And for
Dempster, he gets to pitch for a two time World Series team and
is reunited with Soto, so that might arguably be a better
situation for him than Atlanta. That's what a 10/5 guy has a
right to do, to get himself into the best personal situation he
can, and he managed to do that while we got a respectable
package in return for him.
Time for the Dempster hate to stop.

Agreed, JR. It ain't likely to happen though.

Texas package was about on par with Gould - quite mediocre.
Dempster s crewed us over - don't know why that's so hard to
accept.
