they gave up Vizcaino for Maholm :what:

...and Reed Johnson....and some cash I think.

:manny:

I'm not sure Maholm is a real upgrade over Delgado honestly.

Certainly not worth Vizcaino, unless they have real concerns about his rehab (he had TJ surgery this spring)

But I've always been a big Arodys fan :leon:

well finally Snider will get his chance to finally stick
most likely Drew Sutton headed back to the minors

Tabata has been hitting decent in AAA so should be called back up soon

I also think the Cubs will still trade both Dempster and Garza.

Dempster because there is no reason not to. They aren't going to offer him arb in the offseason, so really whatever they get is a bonus. Sucks for them though that he destroyed all their leverage.

Garza because the market is THIRSTY for front line starters after Hamels re-upped and both Johnson and Shields appear to be longshots.

To be fair, Snider has had plenty of chances to stick in Toronto. He's just been awful. Zero plate discipline.

true but T-Dot had alot of other options he can't be no worse than a Garrett Jones type player for them

I definitely think he's an upgrade, but he won't help their OBP deficiencies....

i know it won't happen but Josh Johnson for Mike Olt and Leonys Martin seems fair
