The Teixeira Watch: Part V - AM says the O's "have flexibility" on Tex

[OsandRavens787]

Has anyone heard to where Boras ended up flying yesterday?

[Bosibus]

Agreed, Tex is not the only thing on our to do list this offseason. Yes we picked up a SS, but we still need a C, and then there's that whole matter of the starting rotation and who is going to pitch for us besides Guthrie.

Maybe the O's are thinking about Drungo's Four Man Rotation.

We just need to fit in NESN in there somehow

I like YESPNESN

Probably making his rounds to Boston/Washington and back to Baltimore.

That is even better!

He probably just flew around in a big circle in order to get people speculating where he was flying....

Guilty here of speculation.

I can't think that catcher is much of a priority. They've got Moeller, maybe they'll sign someone else to keep the seat warm until Wieters is up.

All in all, I'm not really of the opinion that the Tex situation is holding things up on our end. Probably with the exception of extension talks with Roberts and, more so, Markakis.

Is it just me!? Or... is this thread kind of dead compared to what it's been the past few mornings? I guess people are done speculating and are taking the wait and see approach.

Or... people get to sleep in alot longer then I do! :rofl:

I think this has taken a toll on everyone over the past several days and it appears people are starting to lose faith. That is no ones fault, just no positive press at all coming the O's direction.

[OsandRavens787]

Apparently Tex is holding up free agency for EVERYONE, including pitchers, but especially the hitters/position players like Abreu, Dunn, Bradley, Giambi, etc.

[KyleBoller4Prez]

I'm surprised you boys haven't mobilized yet and put on a demonstration outside the Warehouse. "Bring Tex Home!", "Bring Tex Home!".

If no news is out, serious negotiations and decision making have begun. Leaks are done and the principals are aware that people are losing "emotional" interest. It's too bad in a way..I think if the O's capture Tex and could have done it 2 days ago, I believe they would have reaped greater ticket sales.

Like everyone says, no news is good news... I hope you're right about serious negotiations and decision making possibly beginning, since there hasn't been any news today.

[OsandRavens787]

If we sign Tex, I'll be buying another 6-pack season ticket plan (at least), if not, I'm not so sure... a lot will depend on when one Matt Wieters gets the call
