Ok guys, I realize this source is probably not the most credible source, but according to mlbtraderumors.com, the Astros are again after Miguel Tejada. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ We can dream can't we? Getting back to reality, I'm not sure a Tejada deal would even put us in a position to win this year.....we have too many dang inconsistent hitters...and it would be lousy if it comes out that Tejada is linked to the Jason Grimsley fiasco.
Everything I've heard seems like Tejada is happy in Baltimore, and that the team is committed to building around him.
the astros would be fools to value pence over tejada, assuming pence is the centerpiece. pence, i'm guessing AE would have to be inlcuded and what....? if hirsh is not in the picture, i think you go after this ten-fold. and who cares if he makes a diff this year - he's signed - what? 3 or 4 more years....
you mean adam everett alone couldn't get the deal done? He is the greatest ss of all time after all. ?
From May through today, the only trade rumor on that site that has come to fruition (as far as I can tell) was Doug Mirabelli back to the Sox. There has been zero said preceeding the trades that actually happened. Not impressive.
He'd be a nice right handed bat to break up our lefty-heavy middle of the order. Biggio - 2B Burke - CF Berkman - 1B Tejada - SS Huff - RF Ensberg - 3B Wilson - LF Ausmus - C I'd even slide Ensberg up to 2 if he's going to continue to walk a lot. Get more guys on base for Berkman, Tejada, and Huff. Wilson at the 4 will NEVER work, so we need someone who's a RH stick to hit between Berkman and Huff so managers can't use one lefty to pitch to our two best sticks (like Dusty was able to do last night with Scott Eyre - speaking of which, he's someone I'd like to see us get here in Houston to be our lefty specialist). lineup with Ensberg in the two-hole: Biggio - 2B Ensberg - 3B Berkman - 1B Tejada - SS Huff - RF Wilson - LF Burke - CF Ausmus - C
How many trades (of consequence) have gone down? Huff, Kearns...others? I had heard Tejada reportedly was one of the redacted names from Grimsley.
Stros wanted him, Cubs gave him big contract. Can see why they didn't want to top a 3-yr 11M contract for a lefty setupman.
There's been 17 or so since May 1 involving big league players. You'd think a site called MLB Trade Rumors would hit on a bit better than 1-fer.
Enough with the trade talk talk...no amount of trades are gonna do the team any good until the players we currently have stop playing like s**t and start playing to the level they're capable of.
aAHHAHAHAHAAH. buh..buh...buh...but we can slide everett over and make him the greatest 3rd bagger of all time, can't we?????
Actually about the source this is the same website that broke all the Tejada news during the offseason when we almost traded for him then but backed out at the last minute. They were pretty much dead on with their info then and hopefully dead on with it now.
Has anyone seen Tejada play much? While I'd take him over Everett in a New York minute, I'm curious as to defense and also things like baserunning, situational hitting, etc. I've heard he was good-to-above-average in the field, and I've heard that he was a complete hack. I haven't seen enough to know. Any observations (and please don't respond with .fpct or ZR)?
Giggle. Hate math? Tejada used to be solid in the field, but he's slipped as he's aged and gotten bigger, and become primarily a slugger. I'd love to have him, he's a premier right handed bat. That said I think the biggest thing for the offense would be the get Ensberg back healthy. Burke Lamb Berkman Ensberg Huff Biggio Everett Ausmus Would be my ideal lineup.
lolol. lolololol. lololololol. oh man. i guess you don't understand how valuable everett is to this team.
can you stop trying so hard to turn unrelated threads into ones about other people's opinion of adam everett? getting old..
