Erik Bedard
I was trolling around the internet this afternoon (slow day), and found this quote on mlbtraderumors.com
"The Orioles' #1 priority for the offseason is to sign ace Erik Bedard to a long-term contract extension. But if the two parties aren't in the same ballpark, they could exact a king's ransom in a trade. As I said before, Bedard could be a $20MM+ pitcher if he stays on course through the 2009 season."
I know this is just a pipe dream, but a rotation of Bedard, Francis, Cook, Ubaldo, and Morales in 2008 has me drooling. Which got me to thinking, what player wouldn't we trade for Bedard? That rotation looks so much better with Bedard pushing everyone down a notch.
Anyway, I'm curious to hear what people would be willing to trade for Bedard if the Orioles put him on the market.
My first offer is Atkins + Fuentes + Hirsh. Would the Orioles do that? Probably not without a budget-friendly contract for Atkins, and even then...
Anyway, it is fun to dream.

news to me
Jamey lacks the bat to start at 3rd though it is obvious that isn't a solution.

It's because it isn't true
Say what you want about Baker's first base defense or outfield play, but his work at third was solid throughout his minor league tenure.

Definitely a nice pipe dream...
My guess for what it would take would be something like Morales, Stewart and another decent young MLB ready player.

Prohibitive
That type of deal for someone like Francis or Crawford (established talents with team friendly contracts) is worth considering but we can't afford to give away young talent and then hand over a 80-90 million dollar contract as well.

there's the rub...
As is, in the real world we have to hope our guys live up to their talent which may or may not happen. We're the sub-prime mortgage backed security of baseball, cheap, with more risk and potentially more reward, but we just might sputter and crash.
