    REALLY happy that Ned didn't give up Webster for Dempster. That seems like a deal he'd do, but he held out.

    We upgraded our team and kept Zach, Gould, Reed, Webster, Withrow, and Joc.

    Id MUCH rather have traded any number of them for a big bat and good SP. I'm sick of keeping all these guys until they are worth nothing. We have money, we don't need to hang on to these types of prospects IMO.

    Well, we finally ended the LF rotation. That's good. And that includes a leadoff hitter.
    IDK, is League an upgrade over Lindblom?

    Kershaw
    Hope Bills continues to get better
    Cap all of a sudden has to continue his career year

    Great. STRUCK OUT on the SP Ned. Struck out.

    Not saying he failed on the trades. He obviouly didn't. But he dropped the ball on this one. Had to upgrade the roto. He talked about it over and over. And didn't fucking do it!

    So the Rangers get Dempster and lets see if we did anything that hasn't been announced yet.

    Yes, and when the dodgers fix his latest problems,,,he will be much better. He throws like Belesario from what I've seen.

    I am a little disheartened about our lack of of acquiring an SP. We saw what happens when Harang does his thing last night. We need another SP. Maybe nonwaiver, I do not know.

    Great deadline. Sit back for a second, take a deep breath, and analyze it....like doyer said, we kept all our top prospects in tact and added Hanley Ramirez, Randy Choate, Brandon League, and Shane Victorino...lol, well done Ned.

    Not buying this whole "win now" shit ownership has fed us either. We can't "win now" with the pitching we have.

    Oh for sure, but who? I'm sure Ned would have pulled the trigger if a big bat/pitcher would have come up but nothing huge was out there. Shields/Garza didn't get traded. Hart didn't get traded. Pence has his concerns. We could have gotten Dempster or Maholm but you're talking about Webster or more for something like that.. not worth it

    Greinke was never an option because other teams could outbid us with specs
    Rays dont want to trade Shields yet
    Marlins dont want to trade Johnson yet
    Cubs were being dicks wanting our 2nd best guy for a rental

    the second tier guys like Maholm, Vargas of the M's, etc aren't really upgrades

    good job holding out

    Yeah ...I was hoping that something would materialize since we were able to get ramirez and vic without giving them up...hoping they would be involved in another trade...oh well, good trades overall...best in all my years really.
