Yeah boy!
And if the Dodgers think signing a Japanese guy who was worse over THERE then Kei Igawa (reportedly, but still not a good comparison) will help their staff more then Bedard, they are crazy. That's like the Yankees saying, "Why should we trade for Ryan Howard? We can sign Hee Sop Choi!"
What I think will be interesting is whether Luke Scott is flipped with Bedard to get more from LA, Seattle or Cincinnati, or with Roberts to get more from the Cubs, or if he is kept as the everyday left fielder. He's 29, but will put up an .850s OPS with good defense, and because of how he developed will still be under Orioles control for four more years.
