I wouldn't be surprised if the Astros still end up with Tejada. I think the Astros may be leaking some info that they are leaning towards Soriano to get the Orioles attention and maybe lower the asking price for Tejada. If The Orioles are asking for both Pence and Hirsch and here the Astros would be willing to do it for Soriano the O's might say well how about one instead. Obviously it will cost more than just the one prospect but maybe only one of those 2 prospects instead of both.


I certainly hope you're right, Proark. I much prefer Tejada to Soriano and not just due to FA status. Wilson may not be jacking as many HR's as we'd like to see but I would much rather have his bat in the lineup than Adam Everett's.

Not to mention adding Soriano gives us yet another player playing out of position. The idea of a complet outfield made up of infielders isn't very appealing.

Bring on Miguel.
