ERIK BEDARD RUMORS & GOSSIP
Astros 4, Pirates 2
The Pirates’ suffered from a rare letdown by the bullpen on Saturday night, but the offense was the true culprit in a disappointing loss to the Astros that evened this weekend’s series.
Houston starter (and former Bucco) Erik Bedard kept the Bucs at bay for six innings. They notched two runs against him with seven hits, but couldn’t build a sustained rally against their teammate...
Erik Bedard returns to PNC Park
On the mound tonight will be the Pirates' two big pitching acquisitions from the winter of 2011/2012. AJ Burnett worked out quite well. Erik Bedard did not. Astro Erik Bedard looks a lot like Pirate Erik Bedard; there are tons of strikeouts, a lot of walks, hits all over the places, and just tons and tons of pitches. In eight appearances and six starts, Bedard's only thrown...

Pirates Weighing Options on Bedard’s Spot in Rotation
With Erik Bedard out of the rotation, the Pirates have several days to figure out how they plan on moving forward. The club has an off day on Thursday before opening up a three-game set in Milwaukee on Friday.

At the time, I’m guessing the Pirates figured they probably wouldn’t still have Bedard come September. He’d be an interesting wild card for a Pirates team with an outside shot, but more likely he’d either get...
The Break-Even Point of Erik Bedard

Bedard was a “name player” that had some pedigree to him, but his recent seasons had been injury-plagued.
