If they don't get a package they want, they hold onto him, and maybe down the road some team will be more desperate for him at that point. It's not like he's going to be a FA after this season. the problem here, is that the Orioles don’t need to trade Bedard, there’s no pressing need to do so right now.

Give him 5 minutes with Victor Zambrano and Zach Duke. Just 5 minutes. Maybe he thought he was doing a Just For Men commercial or something? What a clown. This all goes back to the trade deadline in 2003, when we were a team below .500, but still in the Wild Card race. Jim Duquette (who by the way, how did he ever get another job???) gives away the jewel of the system (who would be our ace right now....by a long shot). “computer programs, scientific probes, meditation, tofu-eating voodoo?”

Now for this year, I am going to stick to what I have been saying for days now, give up the wild goose chase, call Pittsburgh and swap for Snell & Nady...if they offer Duke also, TAKE HIM! remember this, he may suck in Pittsburgh, but this is the franchise that has given up young pitching with talent for years because they can't manage it in house (i.e. Jason Schmidt, Ollie, etc)...you don't think a change of scenery wouldn't help? Offer Gomez, Mulvey and Heilman & even perhaps Carp for that deal...SP does grow on trees but talent doesn't...Sure Duke fell off a little, but who is to say "The Jacket Racket" wouldn't be able to fix him with his computer programs, scientific probes, meditation, tofu-eating voodoo? bedard’s a pipedream…silva’s an overpaid livan, might as well just get livan…but seriously, does anyone think that maybe it’s time to start drafting differently? get SP, SP & more SP with those 1st 3 picks…and then heck, KEEP GOING!!!

He is a Cuban defector named Alexei Ramirez. Don't know much about him but other than that you have to look at Eckenscrap. Now if there was some way to save enough prospects to get Chone Figgins then we would be set. Oh and there is one SS that might interest Omar. He is a Cuban defector named Alexei Ramirez.
