Hey, Geoff, Coltrane is from my hometown — High Point, N.C.

And of course, Philip Rivers, from my alma mater, is a god.

61: I doubt that it would take Bell as well, but I do think that we’d have to add something to the deal.

The Orioles are rumored to be giving up Jones, Jeff Clement (a 5-star catching prospect), and another top pitching prospect or young SS prospect to get Bedrard. The second two prospects would both rank above anyone other than Headley in the Padres organization.

That’s why Bedrard’s not an option.

66: How so? I don’t see the Padres trading Headley to start and I don’t see the Orioles to be interested in any players that the Padres have.
I don’t see how the price of acquiring Jones would be any cheaper than getting Bedard if those two are trading for each other.

If Headley fills a need for the Orioles, then why couldn’t the Padres try it?

The Padres need Bedard more than Jones.

63: Bedrard’s not an option. We’d have to gut the team to acquire him. Jones fills a hole for us and Headley fills a need for the O’s.

63: Me too but the Padres probably don’t have what the Orioles want if Adam Jones is an indication.

What happened to Jeremy Reed?

I would rather acquire Bedard.

I know there’s not a ton of Chargers fans here, but for those that are – the time has come to get the job done.
