Are you not satisfied with his .195 average over the last 4 weeks or something?

I'd take his right handed bat off the bench no doubt. Again assuming Cubs choke on most of his remaining salary.

Minor for Dempster straight up.

MAKE IT HAPPEN WREN.

Most MLB mock drafts don't. Too many players out there to make any legit predictions outside of the top 4 or 5.

You and the kid putting together a mock draft will be good entertainment, though. Excited to see it.

I was referring to Heyward's average, not Soriano.

I don't want Soriano on this team through 2014, especially when he can't hit lefties.

I'll definitely take Dempster, though.

Honestly didn't realize Soriano's contact ran that long. What a horrible deal.

Think Baby Bears would go for Minor for Dempster?

Aint that the truth.

What a terrible disappointment he has been.


I'm more disappointed by the fact we passed over guys like Bryce Brentz and Nick Castellanos to draft Lipka more than anything. And there would have been a decent chance Lipka might have been there for us in the second round. He was a pretty huge reach. Gotta love going for signability over talent.

Meanwhile Brentz is hitting over .300 with an .850ish OPS in AA after combining for 30 HRs in A and A+ last year.

I think Dempster would be good fit, if not for the $ issue. #Braves don't have $4-plus mill if they stick to budget.

Things are going to be a little different from now on with the new spending cap there is for each team starting this year.

Yep, that's giving me hope we won't show some of the same drafting issues we've had in the past. Hopefully we go after a legit power bat of some sort in the 1st, be it Roache or Gallo or whoever.

Why the self ban? Did I miss something?
