Bannister Available?

MLB Trade Rumors ponders if Brian Bannister may be dealt to get a good reliever after Chad Bradford signed a 3 year, $10.25 mil. deal with the O's.

...hmm, i pretty much forgot about him after his looooong lasting hamstring injury. he pitched fairly well, and i think he could be pretty good...so be careful trading him...i don't want this to bite us in the butt in a few years...

Bye-Bye Bradford!

OH NO!
say it 'aint so Omar!

Chad Bradford has agreed to a 3 year, $10.5mil. with the Orioles.

...ohhhh man. this was the main guy i wanted back from the bullpen this year....

...as matt cerrone said, "this means we can't use Aaron Heilman as a trading chip."...

...which i don't especially hate, because i think he can be good out of the pen, as long as he doesnt whine about starting...

...man the bullpen market is HOT this year...

Game:: Mets 4 - Reds 2 (10)

Scored early...2 solo shots. Got shut down by Arroyo from there...
Glav great early allowed 2 in the 5th. struggled thru the 6th...miraculously got out without any runs..thanks to heads up throw home play by Valentin.

Chad (Houdini) Bradford worked out of a bases loaded 1 out jam in the 7th. Hes been so solid.

A great throw out at second with Valentin sliding away and yet still blocking the plate.

anyway. Finished the trip 4-2 heading home to face houston and chicago.

El Duque tonight 7:10
