The Bedard Deal is Final.

All Mariners fans have been waiting forever for it to become finalized....

After week of Orioles being complete douche-bags and drawing this out weeks longer than necessary, The Mariners finally get their man.

I have been in general against this trade....mainly because I think Jone, Tillman, and George way to much.....I think Tillman is WAY undervalued....and including Butler too....thats a whole lot of Talent. Baltimore got an incredible deal.....even better than they realize.

Adam Jones = Stud outfielder who is essentially free for 6 years
George Sherrill = The ultimate left hander...and not Baltimore's closer (or setup) super value
Chris Tillman = I have this bad feeling he is gonna end up being an Ace type of pitcher
Tony Butler = Left handed....if he can every stop walking people....a #3 pitcher or better
Cam = Talented reliever....closer of the future....cheap bullpen talent....mariners should have gave up green.

Some people look at that list and think its just a good trade for Baltimore...to me....they fleeced us bad.

Okay....that is the last time I am going to dwell on Jones.....

New post now...to welcome Erik
