Orioles News - Not Again...

Why? Why can't the Baltimore Orioles stop scaring teams away? The O's have had several teams that have had interest in Miguel Tejada, but the Orioles have scared away most of those teams. Don't believe me? Then look at this: The O's have mainly been asking for two high-level prospects from teams that have had interest in Tejada. The Orioles scared away the St. Louis Cardinals, the San Fransisco Giants (They didn't want to give up either of their two top pitching prospects), and many more teams. Can't the O's just settle for one high-level prospect and a lower prospect too? Honestly, what team would give up two high-level prospects for an aging shortstop who has declining range and isn't all that great in the field? Not to mention that Miggi has 26 million dollars left on his contract over two years, and the fact that his power is declining too... It's upsetting when another team has interest in a player you NEED to get rid of and you scare them away. (Sigh.) - John T.
