Cubbies resign Dempster

The Cubs resigned Ryan Dempster today. Dempster, last season, posted a 2.96 ERA with a 17-5 record. Ryan had a fantastic season and pretty much signed for market value at 4 years, 52 mil. He was a starting pitcher from 1999 to 2003, topping 200 IP in three of those seasons, but only having an ERA below four once. He broke out this year and no surprise, in his contract season.

He won't put up the stats he did in '08, but is good for 200 IP and a mid-3 ERA. Could this move indicate the Cubs are out on Peavy?
