I also wonder if Bedard pitches well consistently we can use him for trade bait to a contender for some young players tooOriginally Posted by Proshares
At least you guys will get a good haul for Lee at the deadline.

OK, so there's not much good about the second overall pick in the 2009 draft hitting .200/.344/.314 in his first 128 plate appearances. Dustin Ackley can loft a ball with backspin out of the park with some regularity in batting practice, but the Mariners second baseman has shown little power in pro ball, with only one home run in 29 games with Double-A West Tenn. But after a terrible April, Ackley is starting to put things together. Ackley went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles yesterday, and in his last nine games he's gone 10-for-30 and hit .333/.474/.533. That's really not a meaningful sample for any analysis, but he's at least been better lately. Given the aggressive assignment to Double-A and learning a new position, Ackley has a lot on his plate right now, so let's wait until at least the all-star break to figure out what his slow start means.
The M's other option was to call up lefty Luke French (4-1, 1.64 in eight starts) from Tacoma to take Rowland-Smith's spot in the rotation. But that would have left the dilemma of who to send down to clear a roster spot. Rowland-Smith is out of options, and the M's are not going to risk losing him. They have already shown a reluctance to risk losing Jesus Colome, who would also have to clear waivers to re-join Tacoma.
