  doing so. Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada was placed on waivers, and the White Sox made a claim.  Olney simply says that the two sides "did not work out a deal," but doesn't say whether they negotiated.  The Sox have had their eye on Tejada for a while; they had talks with the Orioles about him back in December of 2005.

  Normally I'd be devastated by a three-game losing streak like this. The O's had a four-game winning streak and a lot of momentum going for them, they are facing a couple of good teams in short series at home and it would have meant a lot to show those clubs that the O's are for real.But it's April 26 and that's all B.S.The O's have been "showing

  in April. The price for Miguel Tejada - $26MM over two years plus a bevy of young players - is considered too high.  I'm not sure where the Tigers payroll will be in '08; they opened '07 with a team-record $95MM mark.  Based on my back of the napkin estimates, the Tigers will have to pay out a net $7.5MM extra based on escalating

  void? Yeah, about that ... Miguel Tejada, the team's highest-paid player, wasn't too thrilled about being left out of the lineup in favor of young Luis Hernandez last night. After the game, he made his displeasure known. From the Baltimore Sun:Asked whether he was OK with the fact that the club might want to get a look at some younger players,

  anonymous scout as saying Tejada now misses "one or two balls" every game that he used to get to. How does Tejada feel about this? Much like Carlos Guillen in Detroit, Tejada is open to moving ... but not just:"One day, if they think I should move to third base, I'll move to third base," Tejada said. "But right now, I feel like I'm fine. I can

  he signs.  Meanwhile, Miguel Tejada will either be moved to 3B or another team.  Considering his decline in defense, productivity, and attitude it seems the Orioles should lower their demands and trade him this offseason.  That would open up an obvious hole at shortstop, a spot once celebrated by Cal Ripken, and an opportunity

Here's what I see happening this winter.  The Cards will fill the rotation spots with one mid-level signing and one cheaper wild card type guy.  I could see a Carlos Silva being paired with a Matt Clement.  Randy
