Bedard-Jones deal going down

[Rob H]

Where would Pie play? Jones is our CFer for the next 6 years.

Pie is the better defensive CF. I'd imagine he'd push Jones to left if you managed to get him.

[rolliefingers]

One of the regulars over at MLBTradeRumors is hearing that it's Jones, Clement, Tillman and a 4th.

If true, what a haul!!!

I would be very happy with that.

[DeuceBaseman]

You guys are NOT getting Pie LOL! Or Marmol LOL! You wouldn't get both of those in a deal for Bedard AND Roberts. A package around Gallagher, Murton, Cedeno, and Marshall is what you'll get. Maybe other prospects like Patterson or Colvin included but I highly doubt it.

[TyCobb]

Remember that Jones used to be a SS.

Key word is "used". 3 years since the last time he played SS I think.

Now that is a crock. You could definitely get Marmol and Pie for Roberts and Bedard. Don't be ridiculous

100 years later, haven't you learned?

HAPPY HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!
i have been a big Adam Jones fan for some time now, my kids and i send stuff thru the mail to ball players, in hopes they sign it and send it back, well Jones being a favorite of mine, i sent him 3 of the below photos i made on photoshop, and 3 baseball cards,(3 different mailings) and he signed every time.

[Elbren]

Does anyone have Jones' Venezuelan League stats? I'd like to see those.

Also, why get Pie when your OF is already set?

Could be flipping Scott?

If we did acquire Pie, I'd imagine the OF would be Pie, Jones and Markakis with Scott DHing. I can't see him uprooting 2 CFer's and someone with Markakis' arm and I can't see him sitting just to get Millar, Huff or Gibbons AB's.

Pie is the better defensive CF. I'd imagine he'd push Jones to left if you managed to get him.

I haven't heard this ... Jones is supposed to be Torri Hunter.

Everyone always overvalues their own prospects. If that is what we were going to get, it would have been done last month. To be hung up this long means there was something in the other trade holding it up.

[RZNJ]

The excitement is running wild. A little premature perhaps? I see we already have Jones at SS and Pie in CF. Wow! Slow down fellas.

[rolliefingers]

Yes their is

I just hope we're not doing something dumb like sending any young players over there to get Pie back.

I'd definitely do a Roberts + Scott for Gallagher + Pie, though. That'd be great.

Kudos for the hard work by Geoff Baker of The Seattle Times. I have read a bunch of writers stuff during this offseason. His has consistently been the most well thoughtout, best researched, and most timely. Seattle fans you are lucky to have him.
