King Felix, Lee, Bedard, Snell, . Nice rotation.

The AL West race might come down to how Snell & the two other rotation spots perform until Bedard is at 100%. I like the pickup for SEA, but Bedard's contribution this season is still a big question mark.

I love that rotation. If Bedard stays healthy to go along with Felix and Lee they might have the best 1-2-3 in the bigs. I like them to win the West. Well done Jack Z.

and he's ahead of Snell on the depth charts.

The thing with Bedard is that he won't be available until May at the earliest, due to the shoulder surgery he had in August, but more realistically it might not be until June or even July.

[PeaveyFury]

This works out pretty well for both sides because of his injury. Since it's a one-year deal, if he can come back mid-year and pitch well from June/July on, he still gets his big payday next year, and if the M's fall out of the race, they can dangle him out there again as a rent-a-player at the deadline if he's healthy this year.

Wow, I had no idea that Bedard was missing that much time. I was having a conversation with a fellow Brewer fan and neither of us could understand why Bedard wasn't getting more attention, now I know why.

Jack Z. is a god. Man oh man Seattle is lucky.

Also keep in mind Bedard pulls himself after 100 pitches. So if he only makes 15 starts those won't go past 6 innings so thats maybe 90 innings.

Too big a risk. He had a torn labrum. Lots of pitchers never come back from that or if they do, are never as effective. This isn't TJ surgery which is successful almost all the time. The severity of the torn labrum can be wildly variable. The surgery is a 10-12 month recovery time; Bedard didn't have until August. Knowing him, expect the full 12 month recovery time.

I think this is hyperbole if I ever heard it, especially based on this re-signing of an injured player.

People need to remember that Seattle has a nice size payroll. Jack Z hasnt won anything yet. Its amazing the love for him on this board.
