What would it take to FINALLY get Miguel Tejada in Chicago?

[Abe Frohman]

Vernon Well and Andruw Jones to name two.

 

Well, of course.

Yeah, Tejada definitely hasn't fallen off yet. I'd love to go after him. My biggest problems with that though would be the cost in players to get him and the fact that he, Ramirez and Soriano are really all similar hitters. Of course, they are all good. But I would like that caliber of bat in a player that walks a little more and perhaps bats LH. Drew comes to mind, as usual. But, no, I would not complain 1 bit about Tejada, probably regardless of what the Cubs would give up to get him.

 

I've always thought that if Hendry is going to go after that type of hitter, not particularly patient, but potent toolsy guy, he might as well get the really good ones.

 

I don't understand how people think he is on the decline? His splits are very even across the board. He would be great between Lee and Ramirez. It doesn't matter what his contract value might be right now, if Angelos wants him gone he will be gone.

Why bat him between Lee and Aramis?

 

I'd bat him #2 unless we can find a really good lefty bat to put in there.

 

Soriano

Tejada

DLee

ARam

 

We'd be looking at a lot of first inning runs.

[Sammy Sofa]

What gets Tejada on the Cubs?

 

A time machine.

I would love to see Tejada in a Cubs uniform but I doubt it happens.
