Erik Bedard

Bedard has been getting rocked in spring training, is there cause for concern for owners? I recently traded Pujols in a deal for Bedard and this is not the start I was hoping for. Do you think he can turn it around in the regular season?

Yes he can turn it around...you people need to stop putting so much weight on Spring Training statistics...up until a few days ago, Big Papi had 1 RBI...they simply do not matter much for established ball players...and I think over the past two seasons, Bedard has put himself in that category...

He'll be fine...

True. I haven't seen any of these starts so I'm wondering if its an issue of just not throwing certain pitches? Or is there something wrong with his mechanics? Or maybe an injury? Etc. Hopefully its nothing and he will be dialed in for opening day.
