I was looking at the Cubs roster the other day looking for a weakness but they didn’t appear to have one until Carlos Zambrano hurt himself a couple of nights ago in Tampa. It might cost too much in prospects to get C.C. Sabathia from the Indians but instead of going for a pitcher like Greg Maddux why not still aim high and try to stick the new GM of the Mariners for Erik Bedard? The Mariners would probably jump at an offer of Rich Hill, Matt Murton and Felix Pie as they are looking to tear their roster up and go young. 29-year old lefty Erik Bedard has pitched in 12 games (all starts) for the Mariners this year and he is 4-4 with a 4.14 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. He has whiffed 62 batters in 67.1 innings which means he still has his good stuff. He has now pitched in 126 games (123 starts) in his major league career and he is 44-38 with a 3.86 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. His career record is pretty impressive when you consider how awful some of the Orioles’ teams he pitched on were.
