I do have Howard at 1B but one of these guys could be great trade bait to get another SP over the next several months.

BTW, I am in 9th place right now and except for saves, I am 9,10 in every P category.

I don't see how this improves your team. If you're saying that you're at the bottom in every pitching cat. then why would you trade your top starting pitcher? This deal makes no sense to me, you're making a trade with an idea of making another trade down the line?

Bedard's going to get into a groove at some point and you'll regret trading him, especially if your at rock bottom in pitching cats.

I will save myself from too much typing and say DITTO

Thx for the help. I will ride Bedard, atleast until I see him against the evil empire next week.
