Mitchell Report circus has past, Now lets Move on

[JohnnyBGoode]

The Braves are always one of those teams that makes a big splash when you least expect it.

Was Frank Wren here when we drafted Erik?

The Mitchell thing was so 5 seconds ago. The O's offseason has beenfar better theatre. The Mitchell Report was like Halftime.

Hopefully it was just the end of the first quarter!

My guess for the sleeper is Rockies and they have the talent to offer us a great deal.

[mcgraw238]

Highly doubt it.

Moore knows Bedard isn't staying in Kansas City.

I happen to think that KC is a place that Bedard might like. KC has a lot of young talent and they have been rumored to want to make an impact move. They would have Bedard for 2 year minimum and could take the draft picks if they could not sign him long term.

Peace,

Any talk on the smaller trade bait? Mora, Huff, Millar, Ramon, or Payton. I consider Gibbons untradeable.

Nah, I like the halftime analogy better.

Halftime is done, over with. The 1st quarter analogy means there may still be a 2nd quarter to the report (unfotunately there likely will be, but...) and we don't need/want that now. "3rd quarter" returns us to more active trading activity.

I like the Rockies as the sleeper team as well. They are obviously close and have a huge need for a dominant pitcher. Bedard fits their needs well.

Kansas City is miles away, almost as far as we are .

I don't know anyone here who would rather discuss the Mitchell Report than a solid trade rumor. Give us some fuel, and it will burn like a blazing inferno!

I hope you are right about Pie. He fits our needs very well.

Why would KC trade the talent needed to get Bedard if it did not think it could sign him (which with their payroll is higly questionable, if not laughable - they just blew a large nut on who, Guillen)? Makes no sense to do that just to get him for two years. He won't fill the stands there on his own. No, KC does not make any sense. They are certainly not in "win now" mode.

I wouldnt mind seeing Bedard going midwest.

I wouldnt mind seeing Bedard going midwest.

What would he prefer, do you think? Does your guy have any insight on that?

[Hank Scorpio]

The midwest is a vast place.

Yes he does. Ill have more later. Lets also see what BB and Belkast have in store for us today.

Could we be granted with FWIW PART 3?

Wait... we aren't talking about those half-baked Roberts AND Bedard to the Cubs ideas, are we? I don't see any possible way that could be a good thing.
