Dempster Gets Rocked

In a 2-2 game in the top of the 9th, Cubs closer Ryan Dempster proceeded to give up 4 runs, allowing the Mets to walk away with a 6-2 victory.

Dempster is a fairly safe start in most leagues and is commonly an underrated source of saves. You may be able to acquire him on the cheap after this horrendous outing; however, buyer beware. Despite Angel Guzman's being moved to the 60-day DL, there is a common belief that Dempster will eventually be moved to the starting rotation while Guzman finishes out the season as the Cubs closer.

With the Cubs now in the thick of things in regards to winning their division, this seems somewhat unlikely. However, with each implosion that Dempster has from here on out, the probability of this becomes all the more likely. Guzman is a must have in all keeper leagues due to his upside, despite his injury concerns.
