I'm sure the Orioles fans appreciated it when he majorly scooped the Tejada trade!

 

Since then, it's been a whole bunch of nothing though.

I think it is real, real, hard to say he scooped the Tejada trade when everyone whose been paying attention knew that the O's were trading Tejada and almost every major sports media outlet posted Tejada to Houston rumors for 48 hours before the trade was consummated.

 

You can believe what you want.

 

Stupid spelling!

"Rummers?"

 

Lousy bootleggers.

Yes, Tejada going to Houston in general wasn't a huge surprise. However, there was no other news source besides him that had even 2 of the players correct, let alone all 5. Most of the Houston rumors that had come out before had involved Everett and a couple other players. Peace's contribution to the trade wasn't that it went down, but the exact specifics of it.

Rosenthal published in article earlier that morning saying that the talks were off between the Astros and Orioles. Couple that with the fact that he knew the exact 5 names (which were never mentioned anywhere) and I think it's "real, real, hard" to say that he doesn't get at least some kind of info.

Peace21 = Angelos??? :-s

[GTAG]

nobody likes a quitter.

[Post Count Padder]

Peace21 = Angelos??? :-s

I don't think so. Then he wouldn't have been telling us a trade would be done soon. We know how much Angelos loves Roberts.

He should have quit while he was on top.

Whether he had inside information or not, it was interesting reading. Rumors, speculation, and inside information are what makes it possible for baseball fans to get through the winter. None of us know if he really had inside information about trades, but it is possible that some of the "information" has been quashed by an overly-deliberate GM who despises leaks and an idiot owner who changes his mind on a whim.

While I don't disagree, when the rumors are big and then turn out to be a dud, it makes the offseason longer and more drab.

First, the Roberts rumor still seems somewhat alive, but my point was that it's very possible that the rumors that don't happen might be the fault of the front office and not the "insider" who had accurate information.
