Noticed the game was off the board @ 5Dimes. Thanks!

Pound Arizona

opie1988 · 07-22-13, 04:06 PM

Awesome! Guy is top notch!!

ChalkyDog · 07-22-13, 04:09 PM

That sucks, was hoping to see Garza tonight.

All well.

Hope the cubbies get the rangers farm system.

PAYTON20 · 07-22-13, 04:09 PM

Rangers do not mess around at deadline. Garza is NOT pitching tonight

PAYTON20 · 07-22-13, 04:12 PM

Damn they took it off the board

leetreaper · 07-22-13, 04:12 PM

Pinny still shows Garza as a pitcher...

So? It doesn't matter. He's not pitching tonight. Unless you bet action, you'll have no wager, and betting action doesn't make a lot of sense.

yisman · 07-22-13, 04:17 PM

Cubs get:

Triple A 3B Mike Olt, Single A RHP C.J. Edwards and a third player.

Olt is a top prospect, of course.

You can't bet Skaggs listed there?

If you placed a bet and listed only Skaggs, it would be voided only if Skaggs didn't go.

What that means is in this case, it's an "action ML" bet. So you would get the new line after the books post it.

Basically, betting Skaggs listed is the same as betting action in this case.

Omaga · 07-22-13, 04:22 PM

that sucks, I really like Garza tonight and had him at a great price +130.

stevenash · 07-22-13, 04:23 PM

DONE

Cubs will acquire Triple-A IF Mike Olt, Single A RHP C.J. Edwards and a third player from Rangers for Matt Garza.

yisman · 07-22-13, 04:24 PM

nashy, I already posted that.

I see.

Nevermind. Thought maybe they were still offering the original line

easyliving · 07-22-13, 04:26 PM

have heard very good things about that Olt kid. looks like he has a bright future ahead of him.

Thanks for this, man.

Haven't been following this closely, but I am really happy to get Olt out of the deal. Quality 3rd basemen aren't in abundance.

yisman · 07-22-13, 04:28 PM

Olt is a stud.

Chris Rusin is starting for the Cubs tonight, apparently.

even if they offered it, there wouldn't be an advantage there.

Omaga · 07-22-13, 04:33 PM

it looks like LHP Chris Rusin will replace Garza

pinnacle420 · 07-22-13, 04:35 PM

cubbies walk away here the winner... that 3rd basemen is a stud... GO CUBS GO!!

I don't think Olt is ready for prime time though.
He tore up AA ball last year, what he hit, 30 homers or something at Frisco?
Stunk it up when the Rangers called him up, plus he strikes out way to much.
Has unreal raw power though.

On2TheNext1 · 07-22-13, 04:45 PM

Olt is a reclamation project at this point, total flop this season and vision problems to boot. CJ Edwards is a wild card, dominating A ball, but doesn't project well at 6' 150lbs. Grimm could be decent, K pitcher, could be a quality bullpen arm, back of the rotation guy. But the PTBNL pool includes Ramirez, which ain't too shabby. 4 for 1 on a 6 month rental - can't complain too much, but really wanted Luke Jackson.

Yisman. We are extending your contract you've earned it buddy!

yisman · 07-22-13, 05:07 PM

Justin Grimm the third player sent to Chicago.

ShogunRua · 07-22-13, 05:11 PM
