Sat, 07 Jan 2006 17:20:39 +0000 http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2006/01/miguel-tejada-rumors/#comment-1517 Would the Orioles have any sort of interest in Guillen? I'm not sure who else they have at shortstop, and I think the best case scenerio if we were to get Tejada would be for us to also get rid of Guillen. Nothing against Carlos, but I'm fairly certain that his days of playing a full season without injury are gone. At the same time though, Tejada is a very overrated fielder. The Tigers would lose a lot going from Guillen to Tejada. Guillen has put up 2, 14, and 1 FRAA over the last three years, while Tejada has put up -15, 16, and -3 over the same span. In the times where Guillen was injured and Infante played short, though, the Tigers had much more modest production with Infante's 5, 1, and 3 FRAA. When Guillen's time on DL is taken into account, going from him to Tejada at SS isn't a huge drop in defensive ability. I feel like I've been harping on this all offseason, the lack of power pitchers on the staff should dictate that the Tigers make every possible effort to at least maintain last year's defensive level, which was pretty good in the infield. To that end, any move for Tejada is a bad move. But at the same time, Tejada would be a big enough upgrade in the Tiger batting order where I am confident that overall the team would be much better with him. And as far as bringing in Tejada to play 3B and moving Inge goes,it would be a terrible move. Inge was ranked by several defensive metrics as the top three-bagger in the American League last season. I think he needs to be our everyday third baseman for a long time to come. I'm kind of going back and forth on the merits of Tejada as I write this comment. He obviously would make the Tigers a better team, but at what cost? With our relative inability to improve our pitching this offseason, any move that relieves us of minor league pitching is a bad one as we will be depending on that talent over the next few seasons.

I don't think you can do this deal w/out a waiver of his trade demand clause. I'd bet that Guillen would be part of any deal. Would adding Tejada mean a winning season? I don't think he makes the difference. The pitching is the key. I wouldn't do a trade, but I'm a chicken$hit "play the kids" type. If Guillen is healthy he could be an All-Star himself. They need pitching and I would hate to see them lose Granderson. I wouldn't mind seeing them worm into a three way deal and scooping up some crumbs that fall off the table. I must allow as how Tejada would put butts in the seats, and that is a factor that has to be considered. But I still wouldn't gut the farm system for the guy.
