Not saying that to be a jerk, but Acuda’s man-crush on Morales has reached epic proportions.

Personally, Prince’s power numbers went down last year, still exceptional numbers, but down nonetheless. Also, with Howie being still unproven defensively at 2nd, the last thing I wanna see is a right side of the infield with that many holes. Maybe there is someone else out there who can fill in adequately while leaving us with Morales and Figgy should we not re-sign Tex.

I also think they’re just low-balling Tex to get a counter-offer from Boras so they can meet somewhere in the middle.

So many great prospects have shown great potential… im not going to name any but im sure you can think of some off the top of your head… We NEED a big hitter behind v-lad or his numbers are going to drop just like they were before teix came over.

or the OC trade?

just because youre a sports writer doesnt mean you know everything about everything. Its why we play the game! We may not get teixeira, but to assume that as being true now seems a little silly

in an earlier piece that the Yankees and Red Sox would battle over Tex… we weren’t even mentioned!
he’s sold his soul to the east coast “elite”. let’s wait and see where we are in a few weeks.

Offer FIVE somewhat to fully proven players for Prince Fielder. More realistic would be Weaver plus two good prospects, or Saunders plus one good prospect.

You don’t trade great young players, unless they are cancerous or you are retarded.

…another “source” said the Angels were going to try to sign Tex and CC.

We’ll see what happens when all is said and done.

And because fielder is a power hitter that we absolutly need. I would love to see this trade figgins (who only has a year left on his contract) gone we can put wood at thrid, willits wont get playing time anyways, morales is a gamble and weaver posted very very adverage numbers.. why not

if the thinks the Angels would make such a lowball offer. Frankly, $120 million would be an insult to Teixeira. Yes, I know that sentence is ridiculous, but the fact of the matter is that Teix is going to be seeking (and someone will give him) $20 million annually, at least, for at least 7 years. There would be no point in even offering anything less than that.

It’s also not how the Angels do business under Moreno. They don’t really go back & forth on money; they make a best offer first, take-it-or-leave-it, and then move on if they leave it.

DO NOT INCLUDE SAUNDERS IN ANY TRADE! Include Weaver all you want, but NO Saunders!
