Small sample size, but Starlin Castro seems to pull at least one major rockhead move in each series he plays against the Giants. Most recent one was starting to run off the field with the ball with only two outs instead of trying to complete the double play, while the tying run scored. Quote from Dale Sveum"

"It's the last straw," Sveum said to reporters after the game. "He better start getting his head in the game, period."

Oops, off the track here, this is a Dempster thread.

Castro notwithstanding (and unlikely, given the Red Sox' overinvestment in the position, with Aviles, Iglesias, Vinicio and Marrero lined up), why should the Red Sox bring in Dempster? Poor and declining velocity, overdependence on the slider, and a move from the NL weakest to the AL strongest -- why would this be a good idea?

I presume that Cherington is lending his co-bidder to Theo to raise the asking price from the Dodgers.

No one was trying to say for the Red Sox to try get Castro, they were talking about Iglesias being a trading chip.

Also the point was made trying to get Garza instead old man Dempster.

Modding is easier when you read.

This thread is about Dempster: that is why the title is "Dempster." Starlin Castro as a target of acquisition has come up in several previous posts, including one of yours. Both Dempster and Castro are legitimate subjects of discussion in this thread.

"Notwithstanding" is a word with a meaning. I suggest that you take a little time to look it up, since you won't be posting for a while. Thinking might be easier for you if you shut the fuck up.
