With an ERA that still sits at an ugly 8.20, Bedard is an extremely risky start next time out as he draws the Angels next week.","date":"Wed May 1"},"fullName":"Erik Bedard","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Previous to last season, you could at least say \"Bedard may get hurt, but he'll pitch really well when healthy.\" But after a small drop in strikeouts and a larger spike in free passes, Bedard's ERA nosed over 5.00 for the first time in his career. He enters the season healthy with a chance to start for the Astros. Since his K/9 was still a very respectable 8.5 last season, if he can get his walks back under control, Bedard could be useful in two-start weeks. The cost will be next to nothing, so if it doesn't work out, cut him and cycle in another retread.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":-4.9,"playerRater15DAY":-4,"positionRank":180}
