Re: Tejada To St. Louis?

Two reasons:
a) I don't think Houston would trade within the division, to a team 4.5 games ahead of them.
b) Drayton McLane is a moron who is always convinced he has a contending team and refuses to trade away his players as a result.

I think Houston will trade in the division to get rid of Tejada's contract but you're right about McLane. I just think this year is different in the current economic state we're in. Astros are losing money this year. While the Stros might be just 4.5 games back of the Cards, they are also in dead last in that division with no bright light at the end f a tunnel.

Oh, I don't think they have any chance, and honestly I would strongly consider a trade if I were them. McLane just doesn't seem to realize it.
