Offer to Angels on the table

[TyCobb]

If that's like "waiting on PA approval"...it could very well mean no deal...

Except that Moreno is in love with Tejada.

I guess it would be appropriate to bring up this classic AP headline. The story was about Arkansas' choice of QBs vs. South Carolina.

"Nutt: Dick will Face Cocks while Johnson Rides Bench"

Yep, that was a great one. ESPN eventually changed it. Actually they do that a lot, put up a funny headline for a little while and change it later. The Colon one was another example. Has to be on purpose.

Wow. And he had Wood before the deal took place...imagine what he's going through now!

[JoeOrsulak]

Business is picking up. He thinks Tejada is gone for sure, no question. Once he's gone Mora will most likely be traded to Philly. He's hearing Bedard is still a big question. We need 2 young players who will be on the 25 man roster as well as another player. Looking at free agent closers not only for this year but next too. He's heard both Dotel and Gagne mentioned. No market for Huff at this time.

How many years are we looking at giving Dotel/Gagne? As much as we gave Baez?

Just received text. " Deal is in place waiting on Moreno's approval".

Wow. Post 1,000 was a doozy! Looks like PGA ain't the only owner who gets veto power, huh.

At one point he was. Is he still? Who knows. He may want to wait until the Mitchell Report comes out.

If Moreno's pissed about Mcab, we could have 2 new Orioles pretty soon.

Hey this was post 1000!!!!

What?!?! Waiting on an owner to give an approval of a trade?

I thought that happens with Angelos....

Grats on post 1k! And as always, we appreciate your info.

My question to you is probably obvious... what is the deal that Moreno has to approve? Miggy for Wood/Saunders?

If either of those are for more than one year, I'm going to mail a turd to the warehouse.

Still, when they get your turd, they may get a Wood at the same time

At least they aren't targeting class A guys. We're learning one lesson at a time here.

Sounds like Ray has lost the closer job. I wouldn't be surprised to see us trade him next offseason...

[Birds08]

How about: "Ferocious swing of Wood Results in Broken Shaft" if he breaks his bat on a pitch.

I think Ray is injured for the entire 2008 season. I sure hope he lost the closer job for this year. Its not Madden where you can play injured guys and still get bad, but acceptable, performance sometimes.
