Erik Bedard (4-4 3.97ERA not horrible) is officially on the trade market. There has been some rumblings that the Yankees may be interested. Bedard's trade value has diminished significantly since he was traded to the Mariners. It would take a decent package of players to be able to attain his services, but i think it would be a good idea. He is a lefty, and we all have seen what he can do (good games against the Yanks on a few occasions). He has had his share of injury problems and that is a major concern. He may even be going on the 15-day DL with back spasms this week. He threw a very good game this year against the Red Sox 7 innings 2 hits 0ER 3 walks 8K's. He might be starting off slow, but I think he still has it. Last year pre-All Star break he had a 3.40ERA, post-All Star break he has a 2.69 ERA (Only 9 games). In 2006 he had 4.28ERA pre-All Star break, and 3.10ERA post-All Star break. His numbers show he starts off slow, and I would be thrilled in the Yanks took a look at Bedard.
