Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the the Angels may have something in the works for Tex, which may include our old buddy Brandon Wood. Also, there is an interesting tidbit about Andy Laroche being showcased. As a side note, there may be an A-Rod/Madonna sex tape - great....

"Here comes the trade deadline and the Braves still aren't sure if they're going to be unloading players or seeking players, but the Angels are supposedly making a serious run at first sacker Mark Teixeira. Word is Anaheim will send utility player Robb Quinlan and minor league third baseman Brandon Wood to Hot-lanta for the glory of having Teixeira in southern California till season's end."

From your link, the source for this rumor is the St. Paul Pioneer Press. So I went there and this is what I found in the "DONT PRINT THAT" section.

With baseball's trade deadline in 10 days, one rumor has Los Angeles Angels utility player Robb Quinlan of St. Paul and minor league third baseman Brandon Wood headed to Atlanta for slugger Mark Teixeira, who can become a free agent at season's end.

Is that really is the best Atlanta can do for two draft picks and two months of Tex (the two picks being the important part)? Quinlan and Wood?

That is what I was thinking. They say Quinlan is a utility guy. I guess if a guy who can play 3rd and 1st is a utility guy, then ok, Huff is a utility guy. That trade is worthless unless Chipper is going to move to 1st full time.

So, basically, it is Wood and Quinlan for a two month rental of Teixiera plus two draft picks. LAAAAAAA wins this one.

Well then, we should be able to get him for a package centered around Scott Moore than. I can't remember who said that Brandon Wood was the same prospect as Scott Moore (I think it was JTrea), but they asked me why I felt like they were way off. Well this is why for that person. I am pretty sure that the Braves would fall down laughing if we called and asked if they would move Tex to us for the rest of the year in exchange for Scott Moore. I am even laughing about it as I type it. Sorry JTrea if it wasn't you, but I am pretty sure it was. :D

They are the same prospect if Scott Moore is playing in the Bizarro world league. Has Moore ever been listed amongst the top 100 prospects at any point in his career? How old is Scott Moore?

    • Hopefully when he signs with someone else.  Until then it's a risk.
    • I don't even want my mind to go there. I don't think I can endure another cheap ownership and be a fan. For now I'm going to keep the faith that they won't be. It could be Elias being too conservative AGAIN then lack of commitment from ownership if they aren't very active in FA again 
    • I have to laugh how different baseball is from football. Here Elias is saying he is in the information gathering stage when FA has already started and then you have football where you had Rex Ryan at Bart Scott's front door at the stroke of midnight in the start of football FA years ago. Crazy how the 2 sports works. 
    • Pinto seems to be Eflin’s guy with McCann not coming back. For a team with budget constraints, is it really worth it pay McCann more than the league min?  I say no.  Also, it would be harder to get rid of McCann mid season in the clubhouse when we believe Basallo is ready. 
    • I find Elias's comments when asked about Coloumbe kind of troubling. Sounds like business as usual for the Orioles. Translation: don't expect much, we're cheapskates ... "I think any time you look at option decisions, you're looking at price point on a salary and you're looking at putting together a budget and a plan for the offseason that encompasses the entirety of your roster, and in particular the bullpen. And then, ultimately, it comes down to a fit and your talent evaluation, and the fit that you see going forward. We had hard decisions in both directions with these option decisions. Sometimes, you make a decision not to kick off your offseason with exercising an option, but you remain in position to stay in touch with a really good player, and Danny's somebody who has done a ton for us, been enormously successful the past couple of years and we really enjoyed having him, and he's somebody that we're going to want to continue talking to throughout the free agency, as long as that lasts. But I'm sure he's going to have a lot of good opportunities, and we'll see where it goes"
    • I would have  took Preston Smith for a 7th.  Damn like the Steelers really needed him. I'm just not feeling a SB at all. This defense just isn't going to get it done in a big game. Thanks DeCosta for taking another year off of Lamar"s chances. A 4th for Ojulari wouldn't had been a bad deal. 
    • Ok but I think many Orioles fans and the Orioles themselves would want the less years and not care so much about the  yearly salary especially with pitchers.
