Compensation For Theo: Chris Carpenter And A PTBNL

[DewsSox79]

Yeah **** them. I pretty much asked to be permabanned.

thats the only way to roll at PSD!

 

[Jntg4]

Did you get banned by the 9 year old mod or the Blackhawks mod that had made a thread asking which team he should follow since he'd never watched hockey before?

The Cubs 40-man roster still stands at 40 ... anyone know why?

Probably some transactions that haven't been leaked yet. Will look at it later.

 

[daddies3angels]

Did they ever make a move for Wood?

 

[waldo7239117]

It's for Gerardo Concepcion.

 

[waldo7239117]

Did they ever make a move for Wood?

Yeah ... outrighted Manny Corpas Triple A.

I count 39. Someone double check that.

Also, they did leak the Concepcion signing but the Cubs haven't officially announced it yet.

 

[waldo7239117]

Yeah the 40-man is at 39, but when the Cubs announce the Concepcion signing, he will fill up the 40-man.

Can't be too upset about this, but also can't help but feel like this is an awfully high price to pay for a promotion. Carpenter was a real interesting arm that I was hopefully developing into a cost controlled late inning reliever for several seasons. It will be interesting to see what the swap of prospects turns out. As a whole though it is good that the biggest piece of the deal is in place. Now we just have to figure out what an organization without an axe to grind is going to get for a lateral move.

If you mean the Padres, I think the MLBTR blurb said it'd be a true "low-level" prospect who isn't on the 40-man and probably won't be anywhere in the top-30 Cubs prospects. But who knows?

 

[waldo7239117]

I heard it won't be on the Cubs 40-man roster and not in the Cubs top 25 prospects. It's likely to be a player in A ball.;

Red Sox media not so pleased...

Full Count

 

[waldo7239117]

He took a promotion, had 1 year left on his contract and was not getting along with owner Henry ... Carpenter was more than enough. He'll contribute and help them. Red Sox fans need to stfu and get over it and stop whining.

 

[ChiTeez.com]

I'm just happy it's pretty much over and we can get down to some baseball! Hopefully we can put a decent team out on the field! I'm sick of walking home from the games feeling like crap after marmol blows it in the 9th lol.

PTBNL is Aaron Kurcz. Red Sox need to send something back and ordeal will be complete.

Great... Just great. He'll come back and be the next Cy Young Winner.
