Tejada is the guy that should have been dealt. They could have had Everett, Ensberg and Oswalt. Then, they would have flipped Oswalt to the Mets for Milledge and other prospects. OR they could have picked up Ervin Santana (who looks like has a bright career ahead of him) and Eric Aybar. I just don't get why they kept him. I'm a big Tejada fan, but dealing would have made them a better team. I guess Angelos realizes that trading him would have meant trading away the biggest star they have and without star power in baseball, you may not have much of a fan base.
