Question

Tex traded to angels??? wat are your thoughts on this breaking news?

Answer 1

From a fantasy standpoint, it good news for Teixeira owners.  In the Angels lineup, he'll have tons of RBI chances and should see his average raise even higher with quality hitters around him.  He also is known to be a big performer in the second half of the season, so I think this move does nothing but help his owners.

From a baseball standpoint, the Braves had no choice but to trade Teixeira.  He is a great player and is in the final year of his contract.  The Braves are out of contention and Teixeira will be a free agent at the end of the season, likely leading to signing with a big market team (Yankees, Angels, Red Sox, etc.) for over $20 million a year... an amount the Braves can not afford.  The move brings the Braves Casey Kotchman, who is only 25 years old, and will be with the Braves at least 3 more years.

Answer 2

What's your source??

Answer 3

i think it's stupid, they just traded for him last year at this time and already got rid of him. I don't understand why they did that. He hit 17 home runs last year for them and didn't play that many games for them and has 20 home runs this year. His average is down but it's still not really all that bad, .283, Ryan Howards is something like .238. I don't get why they did this.
