Report: Bedard Seattle-Bound

[Dipper9]

There's a CAR?

How many rides is it giving?

This is obviosuly why its taking Bedard so long to get to Seattle. He's DRIVING! Probably a big ol' RV too!

Apparently Green is very close to a two year extension which would take him to Free Agency. Not sure he can be considered an option at this point.

I don't follow this. Why does a two year extension mean he's not an option? It's basically the situation EB was in but KG has already signed through the end of arbitration while the Mariners and EB will decide what to do with his last two years.

After '09 he's a FA. We need young cheap prospects with a high upside and a high OBP as well. Green is no more what we want than BRob.

I disagree. After '09 we should be ready to contend. I would hope that 2 years from now we aren't still "blowing it up." Unless we get real lucky somehow, it looks like we would still be in the market for a SS at that time. With Greene's stated desire to be on the east coast, it would seem to be a good fit.

Brian is a couple of years older and hasn't expressed a desire to play in the east.

only the Orioles could turn what could be one of the most exciting and monumental trades in Orioles history... to the most boring trade ever.

He's been Seattle Bound for a few days now based on what we've heard.

Are Lewis and Clark leading him there?

Now that is funny!

Why does the thread title say "report" when its coming from one persons source? Until it's confirmed from the Orioles or Mariners how can it be reported as fact after the way this offseason has gone?

I'm not saying Peace doesn't have an inside source. But couldn't I just pretend that I have a source and start a thread that says "Report- Bedard still at home." The way this offseason has gone its very misleading to "Report" anything as fact until AFTER it has actually happened.

I think you are confusing the word "Report" to mean fact, when in actuality it doesn't.

Peace's guy reported that Bedard was flying to Seattle, hence, "Report".

Until Bedard actually sends Roch a postcard with him in the foreground and the Space Needle in the background and he posts it on his blog, then I will not believe Bedard is in Seattle.

Fair enough... I still find it misleading, considering the off-season we've gone through. A Belkast type "FWIW" beginning would be more appropriate.

From the details that I recieved from my source over the phone, I felt very confident. 100% confident that Bedard will be heading to Seattle this morning to take a physical. Their are other details of the converstaion that I cant put out over the board. But from they way I recieved them and the way it sounded, it's pretty legit. Hence the "Report".

You need a new gimmick it's not working out anymore.
