Another part of this puzzle is Rendon - word has it he's major league ready. What if he's ready by Spring Training? Would you still want to throw the world at Reyes, particularly considering the injury concerns?

I would definitely not have Rendon start the year in the majors. At most, I would have him come up in summer. I don't even know what this kid can do yet!

I would still like Reyes if we were somehow in on him, otherwise I'd give it a toss up between Lombo/Dez/Epsy.

Just as there was in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 etc. etc.

Would CJ Wilson want to come here?

I can see the Yanks going after Wilson. He's been tough against the AL East this season. The Nats will test the waters, but I think the price tag will eventually scare them off. Who else is out as far as pitching goes? Somebody mentioned Bedard a while back. What is his status?

DC has an advantage no other city does when it comes to Wilson. DC is the birth place of strait edge.

I'll go straight edge if we get Wilson. I've already said that somewhere else in this thread.

he's another Lee - bidding war between Boston/NY, maybe he'll give Texas a hometown discount, or maybe he'll want to pitch with Strasburg-J-Zimm.

Missing a turn for Boston as a precaution (knee hurts), but he's their #3 starter for the playoffs. He may re-sign with Seattle aftet the season if he really wants to be there, and I could see the likely contender pitching suitors also seeking his services thinking he can be signed on a short, incentive-laden contract.

Thanks JCA. I believe you were the one who mentioned him earlier in this thread. I could live with Bedard if we could get him to come here.

If we sign Bedard its pretty much a guarantee that we'll have to call someone up to take his spot when he gets placed on the DL

eh, you can say the same for almost any pitcher

Slateman · « **Reply #339 on:** September 09, 2011, 06:19:33 pm »

No spider, that's BJ Upton.

Bedard is far more susceptible to the DL than someone like Marquis.

Bedard, BJ Upton, and Adam Jones.

Sexy-time. Very nice.

didn't Marquis miss almost whole year out of a two year deal?

Ummm, I don't mean to rain on your moment here, but why would we go and trade for both Upton AND Jones?

It's actually Bj Upton and anyone who has ever donned an orioles uniform.

Ha.

We should put one of the racing presidents in CF for an inning. It would just be another absurdity after going so many years without anyone to play the position.

Yes. When he's healthy he's good. But he's healthy less than Reyes
