Erik Bedard

He’ll undergo exploratory arthroscopic surgery by Dr. Lewis Yocum (a true leader in the field) next week to figure out exactly what’s going on.  Surgeons generally only do this procedure when the exam doesn’t match up with the diagnostic tests like MRI’s and CT scans.  That’s not a good sign because something causes pain, even if it’s only due to his own mental makings.  He’s been diagnosed with impingement…

Mark Mulder

Mulder came off of the DL but sent to bullpen as their left handed specialist for the immediate time being. He has basically lost the last two seasons due to Expect nothing from him fantasy wise because he’s going to be a left-handed specialist.
