ESPN's Ravech: Teixeira has "enormous attraction to the Orioles" Close to signing

[tennOsfan]

Maybe it's not that close?

The media can't just go with OH insider information. They have to have something concrete, meaning the actors themselves have to tell them something.

You'd expect Boras to be begging for every dime along the way, so it's not like he's going to call other teams and tell them he's hammering out the final contractual details. He's likely playing teams against each other right to the final minute.

Your second team can't be in the same freakin' division as your first! What the heck?

Hey, twice as many chances to really root against the Yankees! I've never been as happy as when the Sox finally beat the Yankees in the playoffs or when they finally won the World Series. When the O's finally sign Tex and eventually win the WS I will probably go nuts!

So you post under two names?

I must spread some rep around before giving it to Pushmonkey again.

Dude has a speed rating of 2!! What does he do...crawl around the bases?

Well he is 6'4" and weighs "0" pounds!

Hey guys... sorry my internet has been down and I have been sick with the flu the past couple days... can anyone fill me in on whats going on? Thanks

Teix signed with the O's and so did Sheets and Burnett. Banner week.

hey guys first time on here..... how do we know this guy wont turn into another javy lopez or some big waste of money that has happened in the past?

[El Gordo]

Sure we would. Anderson would be our future DH, because I doubt we extend Huff. It doesn't make that much sense for the Sox to spend so much on him though.

What the guy has a bad glove at 1B? .900 OPS at AA at age 20 is pretty impressive to me.:rolleyestf:

[Ricky Bobby]

You are correct sir. Again.:

You obviously sound like an insider. Is that right? Are you able to say how you are connected? by the way,Thanks for your input.

Most outdated SN ever?

Well, it helps that he's not a 33 year old catcher.

Because we can see the future.

I think Glenn Davis would have been a better comparison. Javy Lopez really had that one big year. But to answer your question...we don't know.

We don't know for sure, but with the way he has been raking the past few years gives a good indication that he won't. But never say never.

[osbaseball08]

Fair point I guess. But I guess from the managing fans expectations point of view, it could be useful. But I see your point and won't really argue it.

That's true too, I guess its all a matter of perspective, what I would do to have a week in the head of a GM :laughlol:

[JDadd9]

I doidn't know that, however, they are not available on the O's online shop.

Yeah not yet but soon from what I hear...If they were smart, they would do it before Chrsitmas, but it doesn't look promising

So I leave work, sit on 83 and the Beltway for 12 hours and now have 20 pages to catch up on. Great job!
