As someone who hangs out at Orioles fan sites, I've learned far more about Kershaw then anyone sane should possibly know over the past few weeks.
I'd be curious what people out in the real, non-Baltimore world would offer for Erik Bedard, Miguel Tejada, and Brian Roberts, since a lot of Orioles fans would like to see them traded and the team rebuild around the prospects sent in return (including the three Dodgers prospects mentioned above in a Bedard deal).

Yep.
I just wonder how, somewhere along the way, the concept of a reliever who can get tough outs in the seventh inning, then pitch three innings to finish a team off turned into a guy who can barely pitch one with a three-run lead.
Wait, no I don't. Thanks Tony LaRussa!
(And thanks to Billy Beane for proving how disposable "closers" are and how stupid other GMs are for focusing on essentially worthless saves.)
