We all follow the Cubs enough to know something about the players. To me, Dempster seems to be quite intelligent. And this is something that an intelligent ballplayer would not only say to the press, but also<i> feel</i>. (btw, I met him at SOITOW-2006; same impression: smart, likable guy.)
Besides, BT is correct...if it looks like we have to dump Bradley, it severely limits our options, and diminishes his trade value by a ton.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
