A new month is upon us, and new rumors are flying, so I felt it was a good idea to start a brand spanking new rosterbation thread.

ESPN Insider today proposed a trade in which the Cubs send Ryan Dempster to the Braves in exchange for Kris Medlen and Mike Minor. My thoughts? Noooooooooooooo.

Jair Jurrjens also is beginning to feel unloved in AAA. His days in Atlanta seem to become more numbers with each passing day. Too bad, as Jair is a great guy and a great pitcher. Should we well low and take whatever we can get for him?

Beyond that, the team's biggest needs seem to be backup shortstop, bullpen arms, and a starting pitcher. Oswalt? Greinke? Dempster? Garza?

Let the spraying of ideas begin.
