I guess I should be proud, right? It sounds like I was the victim of an elaborate hoax/impersonated sportswriter. If so I apologize - not sure why someone would go to such lengths, but lesson learned. from mlbtraderumors.com:

Bedard had 2 less wins on a much worse team. Bedard has a 100% unhittable pitch. How good is Santana over Bedard, really?

Bedard had 2 less wins on a much worse team.

Bedard has a 100% unhittable pitch.

Bedard or Santana plus Reyes, por favor, Omar! Cool.

If they can get Bedard without trading Reyes, which they definitely can, it's worth it. Bedard and Reyes or Santana and Eck? I take Bedard and Reyes just about any time.

But, if Omar really wanted to make a splash and redo the team, something like this but with real players back? A legit AAA SS, and a studly young catcher maybe? SOmething to fill holes. Or at least real prospects/young guys, not these stiffs. This version is a non starter.

WAIT A SECOND.. so you are telling me that when a team has their leadoff hitter get on base 3 x in one game, they have a winning record. Sweet Jesus. This jose reyes just may be a good player afterall. I take it all back. Will Reyes will not get faster with age? NO Will Reyes steal 85 bases next year? MAYBE Will Reyes be on Dancing with the Reaggeton Stars? ABSOLUTELY If you can get the best pitcher in the game, you make this move. Not for Bedard, not for Haren.. for SANTANA. Ship this guy off to the AL west and let's be done with it already. Look at this pitching market.. seriously.. take a peek. Its going to get harder to get Ace talent, not easier and not cheaper. You have to give up something to get something. Reyes on this team with Colon/Livan/ElDuque in the 3/4/5 spot = 3rd place and no playoffs. PERIOD. However, Santana/Pedro/Maine/OP/5th starter = postseason with Eckstein or Crosby and probably an NL pennant. Reyes doesn't care about you. He cares about cashing his paycheck. This is the best move for the team. Get over it. whoa whoa WHOA..
