Escobar. Doesn't help a lot much other than BA, but if he coninues to like up ABs with the high BA that has some value. Teixeira is hurt again, and I think the Yankees have a very good chance of adding another young 1B that they'll want to look at in September.

To flip the discussion around slightly, what's your thoughts on making an argument for Teixeira? Are you thinking that there is potential that the power comes back and he gets healthy at some point?

I'm on the Escobar side, simply due to the injury/poor performance risk on Teix.

There is a decent chance the Angels will trade Escobar. If he goes to the NL, would he have to be dropped? That would for sure lower his trade value if so.

[revo]

Teixeira should have very little value the rest of the year and next, so I'd take Escobar, who's at least hitting.

Not on either side. Two 'friends' made this deal in my league and I wanted to know if it looked slanted like I thought.

Oh, did I mention that tex is going to the dumping team and escobar to the contender?

Or that these two teams did a multi player dump deal 2 weeks ago, both players involved (in other words, back to their original owners).
