Good now the O's fans obsessed with him can move on.

Why?

Its not like he is going to sign an extension with the Angels. He will test free agency. So the Angels just gave up Kotchman for Teixeria. It amazes me how the Braves keep managing to make extremely good deals.

Ah...so young and naive...:D

(By the way for the opening poster..TEIxeira.

You are going to get killed for that, so just a friendly warning :P)

Yeah I know how to spell Teixeira I was just typing fast so I could break the news first. I realized it after I posted but you can't change the title, can you?

Also,The rumor of this was on the O's board but it wasn't official on there and I posted it on the right board (MLB) although now we have some good discussion of just the Orioles in the orioles talk board, coming off of that post too, so it all panned out well.

Thanks for the warning :) I could punch myself in the face for spelling Teixeira wrong :D

Put me in the group that thinks this was a really stupid move by the Angels. Tex isn't going to out-produce The Kotchman by much the rest of the season. What was the point? Unless they know something about Kotchman.... just a crazy move.

Evidently the Angels don't think much of Kotchman.

    • 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.
