From the Mouth of Bedard

Erik Bedard isn't exactly helping Andy MacPhail get best value, but he may be helping himself get out of Baltimore faster.

Ace pitcher Erik Bedard said today that he is resigned to being traded this season and is disappointed that the Orioles haven't made a greater effort to sign him to a contract extension...Bedard's comments surprised Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail ... Bedard made it clear today that he has no interest in pitching for a rebuilding team.


Bedard going to Seattle sends Roberts to Chicago <<clicks heels together 3 times>> The Padres are talking to the Cubs about Murton and the Pirates about Xavier Nady. Everyone is speculating Khalil Greene is a target for the Cubs. Or Marlon Byrd. I don't buy Lofton, Stewart or any other "big name" free agent.

Nothing happens until Bedard moves, and then it all falls into place before pitchers and catchers reports. And if Bedard keeps yapping, it will be that much sooner.
