Teixeira Dealt

Mark Teixeira, deliriously happy, and STILL not going to the Red Sox.
LYNNFIELD, MA - Irish Labatt has acquired 1B Mark Teixeira in what could be the beginning of a complete overhaul for the franchise.  Will ownership deal away any more draft picks for top ranked talent, or are they content to use those picks to supplement their existing roster?

DETAILS
Multiple Scorgams get his CHARLIE #1, Tom #2 and Tom #14  for Mark Teixeira.

  1. Great deal by Tom... always give up the picks for talent

  2. I just think it's funny. I take young players and turn them into superstars, while veteran players go to Tom's team to die.

    1. "I take young players and turn them into superstars" It is laughable how much of a blowhard you are. Clay Kershaw, wow never saw that coming. Its not like Matt Kemp took Jose Bautista's career path. What you do is take a young player that 99% of the experts tout 1-2 years too early and suffer through multiple mediocre years before getting a breakout year and then dealing said player because now he's "old". What a complete fraud.

  3. Championships don't lie, Tim. I'm sure you didn't see Kershaw becoming the stud he is, since you traded him to me. At that time, he was looking like Scott Kazmir, but the savvy owner that I am, jumped at the chance to acquire him. Kemp was a nobody when I acquired him, he was sporting a .799 OPS. And you seem to be mistaken, I am the expert, no advice needed. I will admit though, I'm not a big fan of players over the age of 32, but hey, then again, I'm not a retirement home like Tom's team.

    1. Actually most saw him becoming what he is today. I traded him to you because I always am in "win now" mode. I have no interest in winning 2013 before 2012 even starts.
