Dempster's bad luck that Garza was taken out of the picture when he was. If the Cubs could have substituted Garza for Dempster, getting a haul from LA in the process, people would still be upset with Dempster, but not as upset as now with the possibility of not being able to make good trades for either Dempster or Garza.
Hopefully, we'll have a pleasant surprise or two by Tuesday. Fingers crossed (toes too).
