December 12, 200718 yr Author Orioles get Luke Scott, pitchers Matt Albers, Troy Patton and Dennis Sarfate, and third baseman Michael Costanzo.
December 12, 200718 yr I think the Orioles win this deal, unless Tejada's production drastically increases. Albers and Patton both have a good amount of upside, and Scott is pretty good.
December 12, 200718 yr I love Patton What used to be an offensive powerhouse with bad pitchers going to look like a weak hitting team w/ a rotation someday like Bedard Guthrie Patton Liz Olson
December 12, 200718 yr Thank god the Orioles went out and got young talent instead of Everret and Burnes. Good deal for the O's, which is rare nowadays.
December 12, 200718 yr I love Patton What used to be an offensive powerhouse with bad pitchers going to look like a weak hitting team w/ a rotation someday like Bedard Guthrie Patton Liz Olson except that Bedard is going to be gone sooner than later
December 12, 200718 yr A bunch of bleh players the Orioles got back I think Costanzo is the key... Patton is a 4/5 starter, Albers could be ok, Scott is nothing will be interesting to see if Miggy can take advantage of Minute Maid

Patton is a 4/5 starter, Albers could be ok, Scott is nothing will be interesting to see if Miggy can take advantage of Minute Maid Yes, the important part is dumping salary and getting Tejada out of the clubhouse. The O's also managed to trade him before the Mitchell Report comes out tomorrow....
December 12, 200718 yr Bah, I'm going to miss Everett at short. Sure, he was sh*tty on offense, but he is one of the, if not the, best defensive shortstops in the game. Also, I feel a little attached to Luke, but whatever.

December 12, 200718 yr Good trade for Houston, Patton seemed to forget how to strike people out last season.
December 12, 200718 yr Patton will be solid. Clear house Orioles. Trade everyone - Bedard, D. Cabrera, Mora, Huff, Roberts, Payton, Walker, Bradford, Ramon, Gibbons. Build around Markakis/Wieters/Guthrie/Patton/Ray, all your other young P, and all the stuff you get from the dump. You can do it. FA 2009 is huge, you can get CC or Dunn or another 5 awesome relatively young players. You can rebound quickly if you have half a brain!
December 12, 200718 yr Miggy is going to hit a bunch of jacks next season. He'll be a monster in that stadium.
December 12, 200718 yr Trade that needed to be made. I know nothing about the players the Orioles got back but Tejada serves no purpose on that team at this point while they are 5-6 years from even sniffing competitiveness again.
December 14, 200718 yr Ed Wade Sell of the Farm and Gets Fleeced again in a deal. So glad he isn't the Phillies GM anymore.
