Official: Orioles get five players for Bedard

From the official team wesite

Finally, finally, finally. Now we can actually discuss how the team is shaping up after the second 5-for-1 haul Andy McPhail has pulled off this offseason.

McPhail may be a deliberate GM (understatement of the decade), but it's a good day to be an Orioles fan. :cap:

[Erik Bedard]

I've warmed on Tillman, but I STILL would have preferred Morrow. Also, any suggestions for a new username?

[SABR Matt]

How about Adam Jones.

You Os fans are going to enjoy Jones...and chances are at least one of the two SP prospects (Tillman/Butler) will turn into a solid MOR guy at least. I think the Os did quite well here and so did the Mariners.

[Erik Bedard]

How about just Pacman. As in the other Adam Jones.

[J W]

I wouldn't just get rid of the Bedard theme; he's your favorite player. Maybe you could go a bit retro with it? If he changes his number you could go with "EB_45" or something similar.

Also: take a look at my new sig. These are all the players McPhail brought in for Traschel, a declining Tejada, and Bedard.

If he pulls off that Roberts trade I'm going to add four more names to that list.

[Erik Bedard]

That's the name I use on just about every other site. I really don't know. I like Pacman, but I don't really want to be affiliated with Pacman Jones.

[J W]

I wouldn't go there. Just say "no" to Pacman. AJ doesn't deserve to be affiliated with that other guy.

Insert Office Space quote here.

Oh, and I neglected to mention that Pacman is also a nickname that my friends have been calling me since I was in 7th grade. In other words, before Pacman Jones became famous (infamous?)

Should be a fast week as far as getting other things done

So, when will Jones pick another number. I'm hoping he sticks with 10. That why I can buy a discount Tejada jerseys and convert it to a Jones jersey.
