Tejada traded to Astros

by SwisherSweet33 on Dec 12, 2007 10:27 AM PST

ESPN is reporting that Miguel Tejada has been traded to the Astros for 5 players. This is obviously newsworthy in that the Angels are/should be searching for a SS/3B and unless the Astros trade him on to the Angels this is one less player the Angels will be able to get to fill that hole. First Cabrera and now Tejada. Interesting news to say the least. Go A's!

You scooped me!

But yours somehow appeared first...

you must have scooped me. If one of the diaries needs to be taken down for being duplicative mine can be taken down. It doesn't bother me either way.

Hm,

doesn't seem like the Orioles got a lot of quality to go with the quantity. The only "B" prospect in the bunch is Patton, although Luke Scott is a fine player.

I guess it's not going to hurt the team, though, so what the hey. Maybe one of the pitchers breaks out.

Meanwhile, the Astros continue to display a truly incredible ignorance of how to run a baseball team.
