Beddard is a great pitcher, but, He's only had 1 complete game in his career, He has never one 20 and don't forget, He's a FA in two years. I'm sure his agent will strongly advise him NOT to sign an extension( I would). Why sign now when your value will just increase? As far as a "Hometown Discount", remember He's from Canada. He gives the impression he really doesn't want to be here. There is no reason NOT to trade him now. A player that a team will control for 2 years is more valuable than a 1 year rental.

Cabrera for

Dodgers- Loney, Kemp, Kershaw( any 2)

DBacks- Jackson & Quenton

Mets- Pelfrey, Milliedge, and or Gomez

RedSox- Bucholz & Gabbard

Braves- Saltalammachia and Escobar

No no no no no, I love this guy. I doubt we will get a player of impact back for him. W/o an impact pitcher and batter in return it shouldnt be considered

Are you kidding me???? I really like Bedard too, but you really don't think we could get one impact player back in return for him?? IMO, if we made him available he would instantly become the hottest trade target in MLB for any team in contention. Now, that means that a contender would not be thrilled about giving up many players in their present lineup. But I would say Bedard could get you at least two of a contenders top prospects and another 5-10 prospect, +. i.e, Gomez, Milledge, Humber and Pelfrey from the Mets. How does that sound? I think the O's need to listen to what Bedard could net them before the trade dealine. I hope the O's are listening to offers for everybody.

Those are some really nice packages. I doubt any of them will come to fruition, but then again, you never know...

There is so much wrong with this post that the only thing I feel like pointing out is we would never ever ever ever get any of those trades.

Why Does Everyone Overrate Daniel Cabrera!?!?

Omg Im Gonna Lose It!!!!

I think it was a typo.. I think he was referring to Bedard for all those trade ideas.. considering he was writing about Bedard in the entire first part of his post and never mentioned Cabrera.

Give me a break. What's wrong with those proposals?

You, my friend, have the Mike Flanagan/Jim Beattie/Jim Duquette mindset.

It never hurts to ask. If you don't ask, then you're stuck with the same cast of losers we're always stuck with.

The guy is dead-on. These are the kinds of deals we should be exploring.

Shapiro got a boatload from Minaya in the Colon deal. Think Minaya wouldn't pull the trigger knowing that Bedard could net him a WS this year and possibly next as well?

I wouldn't trade him for any of those packages.

I don't think people realize just how valuable Bedard would be on the trade market...3 players is the cost, not 2.

I'd say at least 3. Three stud prospects and a low level minor leaguer with huge upside is where my negotiating would start.

If a playoff bound team wants him bad enough, they can pony up.

And to replace Bedard I'd want to make sure two of those prospects are starting arms.

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      How many starts per week for Kjerstad and where?

      By dzorange · Posted

      People are really overanalyzing the promotion of a player that may be on the team for a week. Clearly sending Holliday down wasn't plan A, and neither is bringing up McKenna. If Kjerstad gets sent down when Hays comes back then we have a problem. My main takeaways from this are that Hays is coming back shortly and Kjerstad is going to get Holliday's opportunity in the lineup. Perhaps he runs with it.

      Well 708 isn’t exactly that good either.

      His real age will match his baseball age in June.   He could have a role next year assuming Hays doesn't come back.

      Gunnar/ Adley . Would Gunnar have been a good choice at 1-1?

      By ChosenOne21 · Posted

      High school players are also less likely to make the majors than college players. Picking Abrams or Witt would also increase the chances your 1:1 pick is a bust, or at least less than you hoped for. When I say Adley wasn't a "safe" pick, I meant that the Orioles didn't sacrifice much, if any, ceiling to raise the floor. I remember the vast majority of pundits saying that Adley was the most likely player in the draft to be an excellent baseball player. A few said they thought Witt or Abrams had a higher ceiling, but they also were less likely to reach it than Adley. And even they were like, "slightly higher ceiling, much lower floor, and C is more valuable than SS." Even if more all-star level players come out of high school, in that particular draft Adley was a special player who had a super high floor and a super high ceiling. The fact that high school players are more likely in general to be all-stars shouldn't blind one to the fact that there was an incredibly special college talent available at 1:1. Bottom line is the idea that the O's should have picked anyone other than Adley in that draft was a small minority opinion on draft day, and the fact that Witt and maybe Abrams ended up hitting their ceilings doesn't change the fact that Adley was the obvious choice with the information available at the time, and it's not like it didn't work out awesome for us. I would say Adley is definitely more likely to be a HOF than Abrams and probably Witt, too.

      Yeah, but Westburg has become such a staple to the lineup and begun to establish himself offensively I thought they might do the Gunnar thing and say 3B is yours.  No more back and forth.

      I'm rambling now, but the 1928 A's may have been one of the coolest teams ever to hang around. Not only did they have a bunch of these old IL Orioles, and an unbelievable stock of young talent. But Mack had brought in some old guys, I guess to provide leadership and mentoring and the like. So on this one team they had the younger HOFs: Mickey Cochrane, Al Simmons, Jimmie Foxx, Lefty Grove. They had the Orioles in Boley, Bishop, Grove, Earnshaw. But on top of all that, they had 41-year-old Ty Cobb, 40-year-old Tris Speaker, 41-year-old Eddie Collins, 44-year-old Jack Quinn, and 35-year-old Bullet Joe Bush. Of course Cobb, Speaker, and Collins are inner-circle HOFers, among the best to ever play their position. Quinn was a grandfathered spitballer, probably worthy of a book or three, who won 96 games in his 40s and pitched his last MLB game at the age of 50. And Bush had a 17-year career where he won 196 games. The '28 A's won 98 games and only finished 2.5 games behind a Yanks team that was the freakin' '27 Yanks the year before. For '29 Mack say goodbye to Cobb, Speaker, made Collins a coach, plugged in the kids, and ran away with the league for three straight years. Until the Depression hit, Connie didn't have any other sources of income or wealth, and for the 2nd time had to sell off his stars to make payroll.
