Yeah I think so too. Unlike many guys on here, (I don't think I am as nice), I DO NOT want to see Bedard win 18-20 games and dominate people.

To tell you the truth, nothing against him personally, but I was liking the trade more every single day he was on the DL.

From the Bedard thread in the MLB forum...

I watched the game tonight and he looked pretty good. His changeup is coming around. It is actually a plus pitch.

Back when I heard Leo on XM before ST, he said Erik was already as good as anybody he'd seen (which is saying something) and that was with him still working on the change. He said that, once he got that pitch figured out too, look out...
Last night on Baseball Tonight, Kurkjian said that a scout told him that Bedard had Sandy Koufax stuff. Last year Joe Torre said pretty much the same thing. He said he thought he was facing Koufax the night Bedard dominated the Yanks.

The M's got more than just a good pitcher...

How well Jones, TIllman etc perform is independent of what Bedard does. Plus, and I've heard ATL Prez John Schuerholtz say this, you want the guys you trade away to do well because it makes it that much easier to make the next deal (people respect what you are offering).

I'm just a fan of good baseball in general. I like seeing pitchers who just dominate. Now, I'd prefer to see those guys pitch for the O's, but I do love me a dominant pitching performance (as long as it's not against the Orioles).

IMO, if it took Bedard being on the DL to make you like the trade more, you're missing the point of the trade, which was not to get rid of Bedard, but to stock the team with young talent. The performance of the players that we got in return should be making you like the trade, not Bedard's woes. Again, this is my opinion, and you're really free to like or dislike the trade based on whatever merits you want to do so on.

I agree. Trades can have 2 winners or no winners.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
