Anyone who thinks Ryan “Whiff” Howard is going to be signed long-term must be from Mars.

The reason the phils didn’t sign lohse is because he took to long to lower his price and philly spent their money on players that do not produce as well.

Bedard is not worth giving up all those good prospects for. Why not wait until the deadline when teams out of the race and are willing to trade good players away. Bedard is in a pitcher friendly park and has not played well. Why would he play well in Philly. We should have gotten Dan Haren in the offseason he is better than Bedard.

I thought Bedard has been nothing but a nuisance on teams he’s played for? Hasn’t he been a cancer in the Seattle locker room and he’s only been there a few months? I’d prefer following in the Rockies footsteps from 2007 and bring up a young arm like Carrasco towards the end of the year. Sometimes it takes the league a while to get the book on him and before they do he could win us a few big games. We know he has the stuff. Why give up the young prospects that we’re already lacking in the farm system?

How about Howard for Bedard? If the Phillies are not going to sign him to a long term deal then deal him. Mariners need a 1B and left handed power.

It’s just a rumor. It’d defiently be the missing piece but I don’t think it’ll be worth it. We would give up 2 or 3 good prospects and get a pitcher who is Arb-eligble in 09. Then a FA in 2010. We need to sign Howard long term. So we wouldn’t be able to afford both players. Gillick never brings in GREAT players. We get them all from the farm system ( from Ed Wayde ). The only good player we got and kept in a trade was Jamie Moyer. So I think, in his last year, he’ll stay running the team the way it is. It works. So until we get a GM that likes to spend money ( Hank Steinbrener ) we’ll get a dominate pitcher.

im all about that although i kind of think they should do that at the winter meetings. all they need this year is another top notch starter and a bullpen arm and a better fifth outfielder. let him ride this season out with us and then let the bidding war begin and simmer on the hot stove all winter.

i would gladly give up our top prospects to get bedard this year. prospects don’t pan out at least half of the time (probably even more in the phillies pathetic farm system) and bedard is a proven ace. even if he hasn’t been dominant so far this year, he can turn it on at any time. we need to push to win it all this year!!! this is our year to go for the throat and win it all!!!!! no more resting on our laurels and /or standing pat. its time to go for the jugular. we are already good enough to go deep into the playoffs, but we need to not be happy enough with that alone. we need to win the world friggin series this year!
