Eric Bedard scratched??

“His hip flared up again,” manager John McLaren said. “We were hoping the medication would kick in like it did in Baltimore, but he still feels it a little bit so we’re going to play it on the safe side.”

Uh oh?!? I hope the medication kicks in too.

This guy will be the biggest bust of the season. Watch.

Perfect timing

Always has been a slow starter and will not got it rev up until May. A great buy low at the beginning of every year.

While I don't necessarily object that he's a buy-low, I don't think it's right to characterize this problem as him being a "slow starter" ever year. Last year, he put up horrible stats for my team in the first 4 weeks or so, but after 30 IP he had struck out 40 or so for an absurd K rate. I knew he was getting really unlucky with hit rate, so I stuck with him and it paid off.

There was no indication of a health problem last year, whereas this year there is a very clear medical issue that is affecting him. The hip is hugely important for all pitchers, but even more so for Bedard (his motion relies on a very dramatic rotation of the torso, since he's one of those guys who twists until the hitter is basically looking at their backs before unleashing).

Any word on when Bedard is going to start again?

This guy will be the biggest bust of the season. Watch.

I was very leery of Bedard going into the year. Dunno if he'll regain his health and rebound, but I stayed far away from him. If healthy, he can be great, but that looks like a big "if" right now...

Just broke on Sportscenter that Bedard is hitting the 15 Day DL

Yup. confirmed on rotoworld. Earliest he can come back is next Thursday, I believe.

Ugh. As if my staff wasn't weak enough.
