I just learned Texeria is going to the Angels?

Question

WOO! Sorry, but here's the question. Was it worth it? A good trade?

Answer 1

this is the power bat the angels needed

they got it

major threat to the sox for the championship

Answer 2

Wow the Angels are getting absolutely everyone. Torii Hunter, Vlad Guerreo. They're just adding to their powerhouse now. Their payroll may be a little too big soon though.

Answer 3

good trade. scary picture. pennywise is one scary creature.

but seriously, teixeira (sp) prefers the AL, and i think Kotchman is a better fit for the Braves than tex was.

Answer 4

As a Braves fan I think it was very worth it. Tex was going to leave after this season anyways makes no sense what so ever to keep him since we are pretty much out of it this season.

And we get a great hitter and a probably jsut as good if not better fielder than Tex.

I love this trade!

Answer 5

I personally think the Angels just established themselves as by far the best in the AL but the braves kinda didnt get as much as i thought they could....kotchman is great but i expected them to want one more prospect

Answer 6

It was part of the angels trade clause they made TeX sign a three year extension otherwise they would not have traded Kotchman for him. Awesome trade im stoked!!!

Answer 7

yah for casey kotchmann and a pitcher.

it was a great trade for the angels, they get a much needed switch hitting power bat, but the braves got something for texeira, which is better then nothing when he walked after this season

Answer 8

The Braves made a bad trade. Kotchman is nowhere near what Tex is.

Answer 9

I don't know if it was worth it.  Kotchman was having a good year and his price is a lot cheaper then Teixeira's.  Yes Teixeira is a very solid player and a little bit of a step up from Kotchman, but will the Angels be able to retain him after the season is over and he's a free agent.  If they can't retain him it wasn't worth it for the Angels.

Answer 10

Yes, IF.....

1. We win the WS, and/or...

2. Sign him long term.
