Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
- Thread starter 5teamparlay
- Start date
Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
Jul 6 Bedard will have his next start pushed back a couple of days after experiencing tightness in his throwing shoulder, and there is a chance the Seattle left-hander might not throw again until after the All-Star break.
Advice: Bedard complained of tightness in his left shoulder after his start on Friday, when he went five innings and gave up one run, and left after throwing 99 pitches. Manager Jim Riggleman believed Bedard was not fully healthy after suffering back and hip injuries earlier in the season. The shoulder tightness is a new ailment.
They can have him.

The Cubs didnt give up a pile of junk.... Gallagher will be good, E. Pat has a ton of potential, Murton if given the chance to start every day can be a .290 type hitter, and Donaldson is a young promising catcher

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
What, exactly, makes him promising? Is it his .210 BA in the minors or his lack of power?

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
There's been talk about Bedard being a prima donna, and he doesn't like to play hurt.

I wont even talk Cubs farm system with you bc you obviously dont know much about them. I do, as I follow how they are doing throughout the season. You didnt think they had enough to get Harden when they CLEARLY did....

He talked about how he wanted to play in Canada when he was with the Os; part of why we were so eager to deal him.

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
Don't know much about him, but Oakland doesn't get screwed much. Murton is a one-tool player, and Patterson is 1-2 years from being ready. He also is a 2nd Baseman, not an OF. Gallagher should help Oakland now.

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
give me a fucking break. you don't know shit about anything. The Cubs system is not ranked highly by anyone, thats not an opinion. They got harden for a bunch of crap that i didnt think would get you Harden. So what? Oak saw Harden stay healthy for a long enough period of time to build some value and they traded him as soon as it happened. Simple enough.
:thumbsup

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
His arm lowered his value a lot. Has to be a concern as Oakland was very willing to ship him off now for b-level prospects.

Gall should be decent in that park, Patterson could be a decent player, and Murton is a 3rd/4th OF. Oak took what they could get as soon as Harden put together a few starts without getting hurt.

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
Cubs are in the middle of the pack when it comes to farm systems, like I have stated a million times. Now days teams are very hesitant as they should be to unload top farm talent for players. It was worth it for us with the position we are in and Harden is only 26 with contract thru 09.... So are you suggesting you know more than Billy Beane?

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
His brother was damn good the year he got hurt. Was never the same player. Still is a great defensive OF, just no plate discipline at all. If Dusty cannot help him, then no one can. Dusty is a great hitting instructor.

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
yea well i figured that was obvious to everyone though... His injury concerns are definitely a concern and something that I hope doesnt happen with him in CHicago... However Cubs have been watching him his past 7 starts or so and liked what they saw, and spoke with Oakland team doctors and got a full medical record and decided to take the chance.

oh ya... the year he got hurt he was playing unbelievable. He was a 5 tool machine. Had a little pop, drove in runs, fast as hell, played good defense... unfortunately he never got back to that level

ummm not every player gets off to a good start. good scouts can see thru the struggles. Baseball is unlike any other sport. It is a hard transition. Donaldson has the tools to be a very good player... we'll find out eventually....

I know AJ Burnett's stats are not the greatest, but if you move him back to the NL, he could be a steal.

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
Philly can afford it. Probably the player they would have to take since they have little in the farm system to give. They would have to take on the whole contract.

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
Not sure why you are laughing? There are thousands of examples of 1st year minor leagues not doing well.... For example
Geovany Soto
1hr, 20rbi, 15bb, 33k, .260 avg, .327 obp, .387 slg.
Oh and yea... He is the NL ALL STAR Catcher

Re: Erik Bedard to PHILLY?
Soto was draft when he was what, 18? When he was 18 he hit .260 in rookie league ball. At 21 he hit .271 at AA; not exactly comparable to a guy thats 22 and batting .210 in single a, but baseball isn't really your thing. Not even the Cubs, apparently.
