How did a previous MRI reveal a tear, but yet when opened up the tear was nowhere to be found?

The very first thing I said was……. “Your post certainly covers the logical but I think the best case worst case needs to be looked at as well”

Also:

I am certainly not saying that I think the Mariners can or ever will get something of value for Bedard.

And yet you did. Anyway, this is where it stops being worth my time to argue with a moving goalpost.

How is my best case ( granted a fantasy land scenerio) all of a sudden being confused with what I expect?

I donâ€™t think I ever said I expect a team to overpay with prospects. Did I?

(earlier)

Best case Bedard returns and throws 45 lightsout innings in June/July and we trade him for a heap of prospects to a contender

Yes, you did.

The context of my overpayment statement was clearly in a discussion in regards to trading and what kind of prospect haul you could expect to get for Bedard. I think most people understood that overpayment there referred to prospects given up.

I’m not saying that Bedard is going to help the Mariners and I am certainly not saying that I think the Mariners can or ever will get something of value for Bedard. You covered the most realistic scenerios.

My noting the signing of a free agents pitchers is only a reponse to your claim that “teams have done very little overpayment for pitching the last few years”.

In order to support your point that a team will give up a bunch of prospects in a trade, you note that teams have signed a bunch of free agent pitchers.

Your arguments are getting worse.
