Bedard extension?

by Rollo Tomasi on Jan 30, 2008 3:30 PM PST

Jim Street sez Bedard told the Orioles it would take a 7 year $100M dollar deal to keep him in Baltimore. Would he go for the same sort of extension offer from us? Is that too many years for a guy coming off an injury?

If we're contending

And Bedard likes being on the team I imaging it wouldn't take that much to extend him.

That's essentially a 5Y/83M

free agent contract.

I'd give him 5/70 if he'd take it. I'd be wary giving Bedard 7 years.

Yeah, more Jake Peavy

less Barry Zito

by G_ on Jan 30, 2008 4:43 PM PST up reply actions

The thing is

Bedard is much much much much better than Zito.

What do I look like, a guy who's not lazy?

A blind 7-year commitment to any pitcher is silly

and Bedard has an injury history.

I am glad you got that part of the joke

grrrrrrrrr

this is all getting in the way of Brent Lillibridge's move to the Orioles, and I DON'T LIKE IT.

That's what you get

when every single post you make is a badly spelled, amateurishly punctuated verbatim quote from random sites and unknown sources.

If nothing else

Brent Lillibridge is a player whose career path I will pay attention to now.

I'm actually pretty excited to see this guy break into the bigs.

Me too

I'm supposed to go to Atlanta this summer, and I hope he's still there because I'd love to get his autograph or a picture. Just because.

by Matthew on Jan 30, 2008 6:14 PM PST up reply actions

He's the key to this whole thing

Y'see, according to some random poster who we scared off, the Orioles only wanted GS52 so they could, and I quote, "flip him to the Braves for Brent Lillibridge".

This assertion came amid a sea of really badly spelled, horribly rumor-based "postings" from this particular individual, who Graham (and I, to a lesser extent) proceeded to harass to such a degree that he now doesn't post here any more. I'm quite proud of this, but the side effect is that now, in almost any Bedard-rumor thread from now until the trade is complete, I will, in fact, wonder aloud at the fate of Brent Lillibridge.

That's how ridiculous this whole thing's gotten.

Not to mention he multi-posted.

Mutli posting is actually what did it.

by CapSea on Jan 30, 2008 11:58 PM PST up reply actions

you realize that annual salary

is $2 million more than silva is making? i think 7/100 wouldnt be terrible at all, but i would be wary of that long of a deal.

by seattlebruin on Jan 30, 2008 3:38 PM PST reply actions

four years vs seven years

it's really not worth comparing AAV when dealing with one contract that's nearly twice as long as the other.

Erik Bedard: LL's Kidney Stone.

We all know it's going to hurt like hell, it's only a matter of time before it hits, and the wait just might kill us before the pain gets the chance.

by Matthew on Jan 31, 2008 1:22 AM PST up reply actions

I had a kidney stone once in HS

Woke up with the worst nausea imaginable from the pain and it never let up until it passed, far enough that it wasn't blocking anything at least, in the hospital.

I'd liken it more to watching Ho pitch, because at least the horrid pain goes away after a short while.
