If we are to have an iota of a chance at contending, Beltre and Bedard have to be healthy and producing. I don't think we have a rat's chance in hell otherwise.

This is just not a strong division.

ZIPS is projecting him to regress to his mean (ie do much better) over the rest of the season. Part of that is a ridiculously bad BABiP of .161. Hitters have some control over BABiP, but you have to ascribe a fair bit of that to bad luck (his career number is a far more normal .292). I don't think there's any indication he's "broken" in some fundamental way, so if there is something he's doing wrong it's presumably fixable. And he may just need some more time to have his luck turn around. I know Dave was <a href="http://ussmariner.com/2009/06/18/is-it-time-to-end-the-ronny-cedeno-era/" rel="nofollow">suggesting</a> the M's send him down to fix himself in Tacoma (and be prepared to lose him if he doesn't pass through waivers) but the one silver lining in the ongoing MI situation is that this might give him the regular starts he needs to start turning things around. I'm not optimistic, but I'm a Mariners fan so that's my standard mien for <i>everything</i>. Perhaps the other silver lining is if Zduriencik is forced to go out and acquire another piece like Brignac... but the dark cloud wrapping that lining is that if such a trade were easy it likely would've happened already, and the lack of a good obvious match for the Rays (who almost certainly aren't interested in half-season rental starting pitcher) means the M's would be overpaying with pieces they'd rather keep (like Aardsma plus Saunders, or something). But maybe there's a third team out there who could close the circle.

I know he isn't much with the bat, but his defense was outstanding if I remember correctly. Might be a good temporary solution. What about Wilson Valdez that we had for awhile?
