The Big O Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Tejada needed to go, pure and simple. Maybe he can be re-energized in Houston. I like the trade because we finally get a legitimate LFer that is under control for the next 4 years, two good pitching prospects (#58 and #85 on BA's 100 Top Prospect List) and Costanzo could be better than Scott Moore. And that's not mentioning the 26 million we can now use to eat contracts. It would have been nice to have gotten a higher prospect, but I'll take this deal. The O's are finally rebuilding. Roberts and Bedard are next on the trading block and they won't be the last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 defiantly something to cry over. Which is why I'm crying IN THE FACE OF ALL ODDS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezza76 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Wow - is this the most interesting offseason for some time? what do u all think? I cant remember the amount of big moves and hype around so many big names like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthefon Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Nothing for Everett either. This is worse than last off-season, with the JJ trade and losing Pettitte and Rocket for nothing (no arbitration.) I can't believe I'm saying this, but Ed Wade is worse than Tim Purpura, and that's saying something. AstroEric, wanna join me in a quest to uh...bring back Tim Purpura! He wouldn't have done anything this season part from not offer arbitration at all! EDIT: Not to mention a couple of obscure free agent signings. But probably not a Matsui signing either.

Sean O Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Everett hit .232 .281 .318, which is simply reprehensible. Ozzie, the gold standard of all glove, no hit shortstops, still managed a .262 .337 .328. You're never going to get anything of value for that.

wrigleyville33 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 yeah apparently palmaro back in the day (when he got with the juicebox) said that tejada gave him the pills... and of course tejada denied it so dont be surprised if his name does come out.

wikitundra Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 The Mitchell report is supposed to name 80 top players.... Who else do you think will be named? Roger Clemens was rumored as well. And Tejada claimed it was just B12 - yeah right. The Orioles are a classic example of how performance enhancing drugs do not help your game.
