I'd like to know what Bedard has done to make you think this? I wouldn't take him over any starter we have, except Marshall.

3.74 ERA playing all of his career in the AL and most in the AL East, 754 K in 781 innings. Those numbers are better than Z's career numbers, certainly more solid than Dempster's one good year, and better on the whole than Lilly's.

Well, he's also never completed a 200 inning season, and has some durability issues. Not saying he isn't talented, but the guy has serious flaws too.
