Speaking of taking a flyer on a LOOGY - did we ever hear why Fuentes left the team? I know they said family issues when he left, but I have not heard anything since.


He's on the 4-week breastmilk diet. He needs to be alone. I'm sure you understand.

Lack of an effective lefty will bite us in the butt if we make the playoffs.

From Marc Broussard, the reporter for a Canadian newspaper called Le Droit, Erik seems to go to him whenever he has something to say:

Quote:
Érik Bédard vient de me rappeler. Surpris d'avoir été libéré par les Pirates. «Je ne m'attendais pas à ça, eu aucune indication en ce sens.» «Ce n'est pas la fin pour moi. J'espère qu'un autre club va me faire signe dans une couple de jours. Je me sens très bien.»


Which Google Translate renders as:

Quote:
Erik Bedard has just reminded me. Surprised to have been released by the Pirates. "I did not expect that, given any indication in this direction." "This is not the end for me. I hope that another club will let me know in a couple of days. I feel very well.


Guess I'm glad that I didn't buy any Pirate stuff.

Mary I think you would go bananas if the Cards gave him a chance this year.

I would bring him in as a reliever. No doubt about it.

It's pointed out here that if Erik signs with another team by Friday, he can be on a playoff roster, so that might be why the Pirates released him now.

And then there this:

Nice.
