High Price for Miguel... Tejada?
"Tejada, 32, would cost less in talent, but the Orioles are believed to be seeking pitcher Jered Weaver and Brandon Wood, and Moreno seems very reluctant to trade Wood, a power-hitter prospect who could be the Angels' shortstop in 2009. The Angels would prefer to trade Santana or Saunders and a lesser prospect."
Sounds sort of ridiculous to me. Thoughts?

yea thats rediculous
Why would we ever offer a big league, huge upside pitcher and our top offensive prospect for an aging, injury prone, expensive player? Hahahaha its insulting to hear thats what the orioles want for Tejada.
This trade would make neither help us or hurt us for next year but we would be much worse off after next season.
Injury prone???
As for the deal, the O's are on crack. But if you want to call Tejada injury prone, your on crack.
yea I changed that later down the thread

I definitely . . .
meh
.287 .344 .477 (BA/OBP/SLG) with 27 HR and 106 RBI
He is 31 and I am sure he can play for 5-6 more years with 2 more years on his contract at 13M annually.
As I think more about this I think Weaver for Tejada would be a great trade. We would lose 1 of our proven big league starters for a proven big league SS. Tejada is a solid defender and we would be able to keep our farm intact with this deal. Also if we made this trade we would not have to really do much in terms of improving our team for the rest of the offseason because we would fill our hole at SS/3B and have someone as a fear factor behind Vlad.
That is ridiculous of the O's
What the hell are the Orioles thinking? This doesn't bode well for them if they want to trade Tejada, Bedard, Roberts or anyone considering how laughable this is. I'm sure baseball people at the meetings are going to have a chuckle when they hear this one. The O's are a joke.
Plus, since his name is most likely going to come up in the Mitchell Report plus the previous allegations to go along with that, I wouldn't even give up Santana alone for him.
Keep him away from the Angels and just stick with trying to trade for MCab.

It would be a great trade....

So when he was better in 2006
Now, in 2007 as his decline is more evident, he's worth Wood and Weaver?
Give up on life already, Peter. You're wasting everyone's time and you run a failure of a team for a reason.

If Gammons's reporting is accurate

remember the Mitchell report
Teams that have always been juiced;
Baltimore, Texas, NYY, Bos, and in the past Oak (I don't think its as rampant as in the 80's and early 90's)
never do a trade with any of these teams in my opinion, usually leads to trouble.
If M Tejada can be had cheap - i.e. Ervin Santana and Aybar as offered before, then maybe its worth the risk, but don't sell out to get a guy who is going to have the steriod spotlight on him for the next couple of years

Miguel Cabrera continues to be a hot topic at the Winter Meetings but nothing was imminent Monday morning as Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest wasn't due to arrive at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center until Monday afternoon.
The Marlins are expected to resume talks with both the Angels and Dodgers regarding Cabrera.

Given that Perez is on the Marlins' payroll ...

The Orioles are going crazy
Now according to mlbtraderumors.com the Orioles want more for Bedard than the twins want for Johan Santana. HAHA they must be the joke of the winter meetings today.
not that ridiculous
