Ramirez is obviously a better player offensively, however, we expect different offensive production from SS and 3B. I'm just throwing that out there. I wouldn't trade ARam for Tejada straight across. Yeah, but at what point is production just production? You're just shifting deck chairs on the Titanic. You don't get better by losing ARam and gaining Tejada, you just changed the production to a different position. Plus, there aren't any decent 3B options out there to deal for or sign. There are at least a couple of decent SS options, and one of them is on your team. preachin' to the choir, brother. plus offensive production at SS is a luxury, not a priority. Tejada should only be pursued if he costs us minor league talent and even then there are limits.
