I will concede that Tehada is one of the game's best players, a classy player, and he plays with an infectious spirit that is great for all that surround him, and I'll give him a mulligan for a kind of late season funk last season as nobody can keep that up 24/7, and I'll give him a bonus star for coming to Baltimore in the first place, BUT.....
Time for Miggy to shut up and play. Perhaps his outburst was meant to shake things up, not a bad idea, but now he says that after his outburst, our O's still didn't go out and get a pitcher, a big bopper, etc. so he wants out. Are we to have an NBA-type scenario where star players tell management who they want to coach? As much as I can't stand Angelos, and I wonder where the O's were when Florida started their off season fire sale, Miggy is a player, not management. Everybody knows most teams have more money to spend this year thanks to some good deals on broadcast/internet rights, and the one-of-these-days sale of the Nationals for a huge profit (and old Peter owns the majority of their broadcast rights too), but it gets very tiresome to hear players whine and ask to be traded if management doesn't do what they want.
Tehada is a great one, and is the kind of guy you can build a whale of a team around, but he needs to shush up.
P.S. And for gosh sakes Peter, don't go out and trade for Ramirez. Most loyal O's fans still haven't gotten over the clubhouse disease known as Albert Belle. Please, no more malcontents. I take Miggy whining at short any day over the "Manny Being Manny Show". If Boston unloads him on somebody, it'll be the biggest steal of a deal since the Babe left Boston.
