1. How does one assess the risk that Bedard doesn't come back as a TOR the-guy-you-REALLY-want-in-your-best-of-seven-playoff-rotation? I mean, that's what makes him different from the 47 other pitchers-coming-off-injuries, right? In fact, they will already have one of those under contract and on the 40-man: Carlos Silva.
In other words: if I'm going to sink new money into Bedard, it's gotta be because we want the chance at 11-K lights-out Bedard, right? If we just want a streaky guy to fill out the rotation, it makes no sense, because we've got 7+ guys who could theoretically start in MLB, not counting Bedard.
So what is the track record of TOR studs going through shoulder stuff and coming back as TOR studs?
2. You want your K/9 stats, how about these:
9.03 K/9, 2.18 BB/9, 0.5 HR/9, 4.14 K/BB
Those are the AA numbers of 1st Lt. Hill. How would youze guys fit him into the French-Olson-Vargas scrum (assuming RRS and Fister have graduated)?
Last year, it was Shawn Kelley putting up those kind of attention-getting AA and winter ball numbers. That worked out OK so far.
