The Cubs are said to like Yankees second base prospect Angelo Gumbs and third base prospect Dante Bichette Jr.,

Holy crap, I wouldn't trade either of them off for a 2 month rental either.

 

[cyfanatic13]

Dempster for Josh Hamilton is what I'm hearing?

 

[chuckd4735]

Cubs only getting 2 Class A pitchers for Dempster.

Cubs only getting 2 Class A pitchers for Dempster.

Correction: Class A Pitcher and Class A position payer.

 

[CLONECONES]

hope the front office knows what they're doing..... don't feel too good about that deal

Agreed... a couple single a ball players seems a too small of an offer for demp

 

[ThatllDoCy]

He is a free agent after this year so could not expect too much. Interesting no deal for Garza.

Rangers send 3B Christian Villanueva and RHP Kyle Hendricks to Cubs for Dempster.

CubsDen Hendricks 4 pitch guy, low 90s fastball, good change, excellent command.

Ah, hendricks doesn't look half bad. Good k/9, great k/bb, not a bad ERA. Could turn out to be a good pick up.

 

[BloodyBuddy]

Still ****** at Demps for screwing up the Delgado trade.

 

[CLONECONES]

Jon Heyman@JonHeymanCBS

scout says christian villanueva, young 3b who went to #cubs in rangers deal is quite good. top 100 prospect in baseball.

 

[chuckd4735]

Hendricks has some pretty wicked numbers and is only 22. Villanueva is meh, but is only 21 and the Cubs needs some depth at 3rd.

TheBlogfines 5'11", 160-pound Christian Villanueva's numbers this year for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans: .285 AVG, 10 HR, 59 RBI, 9 SB/9 CS, .777 OPS. #cubs

 

[CycloneErik]

I guess Villanueva was their 10th ranked prospect. He may have potential
