Mora and Tejada

[Dr. FLK]

Iev been hearing Cubs since last week. And Pie would be in a deal.

What would you say the chances are of this deal being pulled off soon? I feel like whenever there is a rumor, the Os spin their wheels until the other team either makes another move or just tired of dealing with us all together. Should I put my skepticism about the Os on hold and actually be optimistic about them doing something for once?

Yeah I'm hearing that Pie is the centerpiece. Things could change next week though once Boras and ARod officially reveal there price tag.

I would have to believe that the higher the price tag would be for Arod, the better Tejada looks to a team that needs a bat at the SS/3B part of the field...

Yeah my guy did tell me what you said the other day though. The O's are acting alot more professional and are shocked PA isnt involved as he used to be.

By the way..i cant bite my tongue any longer.. Mora and Miggy are not good for the clubhouse.

I was waiting for you to say something. I don't want to get into specifics but I hear they cause ALOT of tension with everyone.

Well, if its with the Cubbies, we have made deal with them when we had the two headed monster.

From what Belkast was saying, and I believe Peace was talking about this too, was the fact that our FO is being looked at in a different light. I really have a feeling this could be the key to pulling off trades this offseason. More teams will deal with us if we can pull off some quick manuvers.

Bigbird...The Orioles are going to go after Miguel Cabrera???

Yeah I think AM has made it clear around MLB that he is the man.

I can't believe me and you are the only ones who thought this was a big deal.

Look i never had problems with interviewing both of them. Very willing to talk. But what really gets me is the way they lead on an off the field. To whine about switching positions still gets me irked. And the way Mora argued with Millar a couple years ago confuses me. These guys need a change of scenery.

Cancer is cancer and not a good analogy for ANYTHING.

A Latino Clique is simply a case of language and cultural barriers that exist in ALL MLB clubhouses. I wouldn't categorize the term as racist.

Clubhouse cancer has always been a term that offended me. Comparing baseball players attitudes to cancer is quite heartless IMO.

Let's say that Mora and Tejada may be clubhouse infections , hell even calling them walking STD's is more palpable than the dreaded " C " word.

Sorry , just a mini-rant.

I don't see how the O's could possibly get Cabrera without dealing Markakis. There are plenty of teams that could offer better packages.

Which is huge, and makes this offseason exciting.

If O's are going after M. Cabrera, and Pie is a return for Tejada, I predict Pie in the mix for Cabrera (Marlins desperately need a young, cheap CF). Who else do you speculate for a Cabrera deal?

I did too, but I fell out of my chair when I read this!!!! I've now picked myself up off the floor and have recovered. That said I would love for the O's to get rid of our Miguel and get a better Miguel!!!
