OCab doing well and have Wood and Aybar.

If the Angels fans truly believe that, they're delusional. If they want to compete this year they need more offense, and they can't count of Cabrera to produce for the whole year.

I basically agree with dave -- Wood, Kotchman, and Cabrera would be a terrific return for Tejada. We can't expect more than that.

The interesting twist: the O's were going to trade Prior for Teixeria....a deal that was supposedly agreed on.

That's very interesting. I wonder if the Rangers would be interested in Santana...e.g., trade Tejada to the Angels for something like Aybar, Cabrera, Santana, and a low level prospect, and then trade Santana and Gibbons to the Rangers for Teixiera.

Wood >> Reimold

Kotchman ~= Markakis

Weaver > Penn

I would say it's more like

Wood > Reimold

Kotchman ~= Markakis

Weaver ~= Penn

Weaver's a good prospect, but I don't think many see him as a potential #1. Wood is obviously a terrific prospect, but as RZNJ mentioned, the angels' hitting prospects are a bit overrated b/c of park and league factors. Plus, Wood has a terrible K rate. I think he'll be good, but I don't think he's the second coming of ARod.

BTW, the Angels postional prospects are being exposed as overrated as they make there way up to the Angels. They play in hitter's leagues all the way throught the minors (Cal League, Texas League, and PCL). Not saying they aren't any good, just not as good as they've been built up because of bloated statistics.

No doubt...Wood is a very good prospect but his numbers have dropped alot this year.

Anyway the Dbacks would trade Webb and Upton or Drew for Tejada. I guess we'd have to probally throw something in to sweeten the deal. Not sure if the Dbacks can afford trading pitching.

So, Tejada, Prior and Bedard for Tex, CPat and Cedeno.

Obviously, we give up more in terms of overall talent and CPat looks better now than when we would have done the trade.

I could go either way on that.

No, they can't afford to trade pitching...Very likely they will go after pitching.

Heard Gammons say last night that the DBacks and Dodgers will get Zito and Willis...Didn;t say which player to which team, although my guess is Willis to the DBacks and Zito to the Dodgers.

We would have probally ended up waiting around on trading Prior for Tex and been stuck with him.

Yeah like SG said, the DBacks are in absolutely no position to even consider trading Brandon Webb.

Their rotation is a disaster after him.

I'd still have the Cubs in the mix. Hendry loves the guy, and he's beyond desperate at this stage.

The one thing is the Orioles are going to or should ask for a ML capable replacement for Tejada and a Strong Starter. I doubt if the Cubs want to part with pitching themselves and if they do Zambrano isn't going to be traded.

No, it'd be Tejada and Bedard for Tex, CPat and Cedeno. Prior's just passing through.

Well, let's strike the White Sox and Astros from there because they just don't have the talent to give.

The DBacks seemingly want pitching more than hitting.

The Tigers are very possible but i just don't see them trading Verlander or Zumaya and if they aren't trading either of them, then they aren't getting Tejada.

The Angels and Red Sox are possibilities as well but both have good reasons to NOT go after Miggy.

I really am not sure. As i go through the teams, i would think someone would have to get hurt or the guys like OCab or Alex Gonzo would have to really struggle or some team like the Cubs would just trade for Tejada for the future or something like that.

I mean, teams either can't afford him, have bigger needs or don't need a SS.

The Giants came to mind but Vizquel is having a very good year.

I think we need to hope that the Angels, Tigers and Red Sox really get involved in this if we want to trade him.

      Is O’Hearn that much worse than Mountcastle at 1B?  I don’t think so.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I understand your case and logic for Skubal  . I do like him too . However I question whether the Tigers will trade him and secondly , is Elias willing pay the high costs to acquire him ?  Knowing Elias , I’m not sure 🤷‍♂️

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Chicago White Sox · Posted

      But that’s my point, who are all these flawless options?  By no means do you have to trade for our guys, but it’s not a stellar group of starting pitchers.  You’ll likely take on some risk with whomever you acquire.  I don’t like taking specific comments and then generalizing the whole board, but there is quite a bit of nitpicking going on from a large group of posters on almost all the SP options not named Skubal as well as some overvaluing of your lesser prospects who are unlikely to get something of value.  Getting an impactful SP in this market is going to hurt one way or the other, you just have to decide what trade offs are you willing to take. I do appreciate your viewpoints because you seem capable of saying something might be fair in terms of value, but at the same time not be a trade you’d actually make.  Personally, I think Crochet would be a massive coup for you guys at the price I just mentioned, but I can respect if you feel he’s too risky.  I’m not sure there will another SP like him available in terms of potential impact and now is the time you guys should really be going for it.

      Do we let Povich make his next start against the NYY?

      By now · Posted

      Thinking of Povich today after practicing flute--trying some note sequences that sounded way off, compared to some that were harmonically pleasing. Sometimes the biggest help to learning is find out what doesn't work. In other words, I'm betting on a good outing next time out, whether it's vs. NY or someone else. It can help to get beat up by the pros once in a while.

      Runs in the playoffs are generally at a premium, you want your best defenders in the game so you don't give away free runs. Mountcastle will be starting in the playoffs.

      We’re trotting out A lineup out there and Mounty is hitting 7th and Cowser is on the bench. Both have really ugly numbers since May 1 basically.  We’re discussing game 3 SP, why not discuss do we want Mountcastle starting in the playoffs if it’s not against a LHP?  I’d say no.  As analytic and swing decision our FO is, I bet they want to get rid of Mounty. He was a necessary dude to get us here, but not anymore. Not with Mayo behind him. Mounty might benefit numbers wise, not approach, to get away from the Wall.  Would a contender want him?  If so, which one?  I don’t see why a rebuilding team would want him.  Could we buy and sell at the deadline?
