David Schuster ‏@Schumouse
Cubs might have gotten Delgado after all...stay tuned


if they did then i will fall in love with Theo

 

[DewsSox79]

most likely delgado

 

[dabynsky]

The Dempster hate would cool a lot if that happens.

 

[nwfisch]

Uggla and Heyward or :gtfo:

He's Reed Mantle.

 

[daddies3angels]

Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick#Cubs are getting two minor league pitchers in Maholm-Johnson deal, source says. Not in the Minor-Delgado-Teheran-Gilmartin group.

 

[dabynsky]

Crasnick is shooting down Delgado or Minor or Teheran or Gilmartin.

 

[Mr. Cub]

Kind of shocked they are getting rid of Maholm too. Our pitching outside of Garza and Samardzija will blow balls now.

That's the point

 

[Rice Cube]

That's the point

 

[dabynsky]

Zeke Spruill, JJ Hoover, Carlos Perez, JR Graham would be the next tier down of arms in the Braves system.

[dabynsky]

Mark Bowman (the guy who broke the Dempster trade) is saying it isn't Delgado, Minor, Teheran or Spruill.

Kevin Goldstein ‏@Kevin_Goldstein
Just a hunch, but based on previous whispers, I'd be surprised if Braves moved lower-level arms like Graham or Martin.

 

[dabynsky]

That is a lot of possible arms taken off the board for the Cubs in a deal. The Braves have a lot, but the luster of the Maholm-Johnson return is starting to wear off.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

lol we got garbage in these trades. not that more should have been expected i guess

Luster? It's Paul Maholm and Reed Johnson, just be thankful that the return isn't a bucket of baseballs :lol:

As Rice Cube said, it's better than a bucket of baseballs.

A guy with a year of control that is pitching well with what is left on the board for pitching has value. We aren't talking about a guy like Teheran, but we are going really far down the list of Braves pitchers at this point.

 

[dabynsky]

Jaye Chapman is one of the arms according to Crasnick.
