I know it's the thinnest of rumors, and pie-in-the-sky at that, but what would be a fair package for Adrian Gonzalez with two years to free agency?  I'm thinking bigger than the Bedard deal?   He's 27 and healthy and hitters are less risky.
Taking into account that his career .281/.362/.506 was mostly accomplished in what some would call a "less-than-completely major" league (notice my political skills in not offending Matt or Sandy here), he is coming off a year with 40 dingers and 119 walks (.277/.407/.551; 166 OPS+).  That'll play in any league.
Mind wandering here, but AG and Felix on long-term deals . . . 
Would the timing be right if the Pods do put him on the market?  Would it make sense to give up the farm for him? I would ask if Z would take the heat after the Bedard fallout, but I'm thinking that's a moot point (yes, he would, if he thought it was the right deal).
