Pretty good trade for Baltimore, they gave up an overrated sore armed pitcher and the mariners got stuck with his contract.

Yep, one of the worst in M’s history. But I guess now the M’s still have Bedard, and if they hadn’t made this trade they wouldn’t have acquired Guti. Look at it as you will, I still think it was a bad trade, but I think it turned out better over time.

The old baseball adage” never judge a trade until at least 5 years have past”

I disagree. You can’t wait 5 years on that (Erik Bedard for Chris Tillman, Adam Jones, George Sherill (Josh Bell), and Kameron Mackilio) trade…I can’t see anybody taking the Mariners side on this one ever.

Even assuming all of those players Baltimore got washes out starting tomorrow, they already got an All-Star season out of Sherrill and Jones, and, will at minimum still get cheap service time for up to 6 or so years in Tillman, Jones, Micholio, and Bell (via Sherrill). The Os just gave up a single player. The only way this tips in Seattle’s direction is if Bedard puts his health problems behind him and pitches enough years of above-average ball to offset that kind of roster leverage, but that’s not terribly realistic. Is it?

lock this man up.

Sonner rather than later.

Adam Jones and Matt Weiters need to be locked up.
Ferrariman
Isn’t weiter’s agent the devil?
Good luck locking him up
Ricky Bones
Let’s wait & see if Weiters can actually play first.

Why would you want to play in Baltimore?
Seems to me a loooot of young talent have been getting the word from their agents that the market’s in a tailspin and that the time to sign is now.

Every time I read something about Adam Jones, I just get more pissed off at Bill Bavasi. At least having Franklin Gutierrez takes away some of the pain.

The O’s have a very nice OF and young talent on its way shortly, hopefully they can beat out the Red Sox for the wildcard within the next couple of years. 😉
