It may be Michael Young traded than Teixeira
Quote:
8. Rangers: Trade Mike Young to the Orioles for Erik Bedard. OK, I just pulled this deal out of my ---. But in Bedard the Rangers get a 28 year-old who keeps the ball in the yard and has three years until free agency. Young, while a great player, is poor defensively and will be 30 next year. He has two more seasons under contract at a very reasonable price. This trade is contingent on #9...
9. Orioles: Trade Miguel Tejada for Jeremy Bonderman. If the Tigers are really shopping Bonderman, you just can't pass this up. Bonderman replaces Bedard in the rotation and becomes the ace; Mike Young moves in at short. I think Orioles fans would be excited with these moves (I could be wrong though). The Tigers would then move Carlos Guillen to first base and add an impact hitter in Tejada. Would Bonds and Tejada be great for clubhouse chemistry? No. But that could be a very solid all-around club.
