Lots of talks with the Angels today

[El Gordo]

The Yankees certainly should give up what it takes. Their pitching is very uncertain.

Tigers? Maybe, maybe not.

Boston? Maybe not Boston but they would certainly be tough to beat in the playoffs with him, even moreso than they are now.

The FA route for pitchers this year is terrible.

Who would you want from the Yankees for Bedard. They won't give up Joba, Hughes or Kennedy.

Dpends who wants to step up to the plate. BB is right we could get more from a desperate team in July BUT, there just might be a deperate team to get off to a good start and impress their fans and a new manager. HINT HINT Dodgers

Not if they trade for Miguel Cabrera. They won't have anything left to give us...

[Hank Scorpio]

By the way this thread is taking a strange turn..What happen to the Angels and O's talking. We all somehow end up debating about Bedard. Its funny.

I think the notion was Tejada to the Angels and then flipping some of that deal to Pittsburgh for Bay... I said I would be fine with that so long as we were able to trade Bedard.

My bad!!!!!!

They said they wouldn't trade them for Cabrera. Bedard is a whole other animal. Hughes or Kennedy would be game in a Bedard deal. I'd want one of those two plus Tabata, Jackson and Horne...

Haha..no problem. Just hilarious that we may not even be talking to LAA about either Bedard or Tejada.

This is a bit of received wisdom on this board that I find to be specious.

The Dodgers' farm system - and I include guys like Kemp and Loney in that, even though they have already had some success - is LOADED.

They can afford Cabrera and Bedard. They'd have to give up one or both of Kemp and Loney (which would be stupid, IMO), but they could do it.

So who would we be talking to them about - Mora? It's got to be Tejada that we are talking about...

[rolliefingers]

Huh? Who else would they want? Roberts?

Whats going on? I just finally got a laptop.I hope its nothing bad,

The price of Cabrera is four of Kemp, Loney, Kershaw, Billingsley and LaRoche. Who is left after that that would be worth trading Bedard for?

If their SP is questionable, why would they give up 2 of their young SP's who have as much upside as Bedard for Bedard?

[UMDTerrapins]

Getting back to the Angels........it seems like everyone assumes we're talking about Tejada again. I wonder if they're looking at BRob...to replace Kendrick if he's traded.

[RShack]

What do the Orioles hope to accomplish by keeping him?

Keeping him.

[Big Mac]

If their SP is questionable, why would they give up 2 of their young SP's who have as much upside as Bedard for Bedard?

Because they are consatantly in the 'win now' mode, and Bedard would make them virtually unstoppable.

[Hank Scorpio]

Keeping him.

At this point, I think this is could likely be the wrong move for this franchise.
