    Rumors have been pretty hot for a month or so about this deal getting done.

    Main rumors involve giving up Salty. The only problem I with this is Tex will be a free agent after next year. However, McCann is locked up so catcher isn't a need.

    Personally, I would like a pitcher for Salty but a lineup with Texeria is nasty looking.

    Clair, anyone...thought?


    BTW, I of course mean Teixeira. Don't really do the spell check thing.

    i wouldn't do it unless a contract extension comes with it, and even then I would be hesitant, because BorASS is his agent.

    I would get a lesser 1B like a Conine, and then get some bullpen help.

    we have scored more runs than the Mets this year... by quite a bit, too. they just pitch better than we do consistently.

    I don't see the problem. Houston traded for Jennings knowing he'd be a free agent after this year. And that's worked out okay. :hihi:

    the braves have to get an absolute monster if they move saltyralphmacchio. an offensive force behind the plate is a win-generator. what are there, 6 guys in baseball that generate runs from the catcher position? no way you trade him for tex.

    they should get a philip hughes/homer bailey type player for salty.

    I think they should try and get this done. The braves keep a few veterans, and try to win with a lot of young guys. A. Jones is gone next year, so why not add another veteran with a bat for another year.

    because next year, they would lose texieria, too, and by next year, Salty may be a beast.

    And the Rangers should be all too familiar with great hitting catchers.
