Tejada deal up to Angelos

[SilentJames]

Say Bigbird,

If you were a betting man, what would you say the odds are of today being Miggy's last game as an Oriole?

As stated in another thread, lets not forget the halos are in Boston right now! No time better then the present!

Frankly, I prefer Aybar to Wood. Yes, he does not have Wood's power, but Wood is a liablity in the field, and strikes out way, way too much at the minor league level - AA ball for God's sake. He'll strike out even more in the majors.

Get a quality fielding SS like Aybar who can hit. Look for power elsewhere.

I like Santana-Aybar for the base, and with adding some more players perhaps Kotchman can be pryed, and young Adenhart. I don't think Kendrick can be had at this point.

I like Santana-Aybar-Kotchman-Adenhart for Mig and Rlo and if need be add in Conine or Javy.

Aybar is a .750-.800 OPS SS max, which is good for a SS, but not really that good in general. His defense is "good" (not great), and his stealing bases skills are seriously lacking (51 steals:: 36 times caught)

[UMDTerrapins]

No chance of that happening

I assume that's because Kendrick AND Wood will never be in the same deal?

[WietersCorner]

Its not even positive the Angels would offer Santana and Wood for Tejada. How can you guys start throwing in names like Adenhart and Kotchman with those two?

[BigSkip]

It'll be hard enough to get Aybar and Wood in a deal at the same time.

[Guest oriofan8]

....Have to assume Angels get more than just Tejada in this deal

[WietersCorner]

From the guys we are willing to trade no one other than Tejada has any trade value. Why would the Angels want any of our leftovers in Conine, Javy, Rodrigo, or Hawkins.

I wouldn't poo-poo some of the "leftovers". We know they've had interest in Conine. Given his recent good streak, he could be a solid bench player for them.

I'd shoot higher, but if all we get is Wood and Adenhart, which is what I think they'd be willing to give us, I'd settle. I'd be excited if we retool with youth and make a run at 2008. Miggy, God love him, isn't our salvation, and there's no sense in overvaluing what hasn't brought us to a winning season. Wood, Adenhart and Miggy's money for an off-season FA, assuming they'll spend it.

We won't get Santana, and we won't get Kendrick. Stoneman overvalues his players as much as we do.

[hoosiers]

Thanks for the info, bb.

I'm hoping we are angling towards Santana, Aybar, Adenhart and Morales/Kotchman. That would be a haul. Perhaps a bit much, but I need Adenhart with Aybar if we don't get BW or Kendrick.

I doubt Rivera is included in this package. He has been a monster offensively.

I do think Conine will be included as the LAA missed out on Broussard and are clearly looking in that direction.

[Greg Pappas]

I haven't seen anyone else mention this, but what if we added RLo to the Tejada/Conine package for Santana and friends? I still am having trouble figuring out why the Angels would deal Santana... but I digress. A few others have mentioned Benson, but Rodrigo may be the guy dealt.

Tejada/RLo/Conine

Santana/Kotchman/Aybar/Mendoza (A-ball RH SP)

Wow, this makes the 12,659th trade proposal...

I agree with you that that package would be outstanding, but I am already having trouble believing Santana is part of the package, but adding Adenhart double-whammy's them in the pitching department. We can always hope

[Moose Milligan]

I still think we should give em a minor league prospect at one of the same positions we're getting back from them. That way they might not feel too terrible about what they're giving us.

Tejada/Conine/Prospect would be alright with me.
