Why do people consistently undervalue Manny?

The only reason the Sox would have been willing to take less than full value is because they had no choice with him asking out. With Tejada asking out that's irrelevant. If anything else goes with Manny in this deal it should be a fungible prospect.

All I want for Christmas is Miggy on the Cubs.

Tejada is a better player than Manny, and he makes much less money

Eckstein is the better defender.

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

Yankees should trade for him and sign Nomar. That way they can have three shortstops better than Jeter.

Maybe Manny + cash, no prospects, but there is no way Manny would accept this trade. Plus, I don't see the Sox sending him within the AL East. Although I wouldn't mind seeing it happen, I just think its very doubtful.

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

wtf? how was nomar ever better than jeter?

if the yankees somehow got tejada in a trade, then i see jeter in CF. if the red sox somehow got tejada for manny, i would be very very scared.

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

wtf? how was nomar ever better than jeter?

he clearly was back around 2000ish. people underestimate just how bad jeter was in the field.

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

people forget just how bad nomar was in the field. he had a great arm, but remember when he couldn't catch a ball to his right?

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

Nomar can't even play SS anymore.

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

relax.

nomar was a MUCH better fielder than jeter circa 2000. as for offense:

EqA

1997
jeter .269
nomar .283

1998
jeter .295
nomar .299

1999
jeter .325
nomar .322

2000
jeter .301
nomar .327

i will use the UZR ratings from 2000-20003 to show you that a) nomar was a good fielder b) jeter was an awful one

2000-20003

nomar +4
jeter -28

i am not arguing that jeter has not been a better player over his career, and obviously jeter is worth much more right now. however, from 97-2000 nomar was clearly the better player.

Won't happen though, we have no one to trade, and the front office LOVES Betancourt at SS. They're convinced he's the next Vizquel.

Guess the M's shopped Meche to the O's, and they weren't interested. Maybe Reed and Pineiro though?

[/ QUOTE ] This makes no sense. They LOVE him because they think he is the next Vizquel?

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

Isn't Vizquel considered to be one the best fielding shortstops since Ozzie? He also has 2300 hits for his career. In his prime I think he was way underrated and one of the top shortstops in the major leagues. He was the prototypical 80's and 90's shortstop. Good fielding, speed and base hitter.

Vizquel ruled.

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

OMG! are you kidding me? You think Eckstein plays better defense at SS?

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

Boris,

Eckstein's got pretty good range. People underestimate him because he lollipops all his throws to 1B.

OK. But I still don't see how this makes him a better defender than Tejada.

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

it's hard for me to imagine a scenerio where Tejada is traded to another AL East team. I don't think the Redsox trade ManRam and I think Tejada stays put as well.

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

Tejada sure would look good in Astros pinstripes. I wonder if Taylor Bucholz, Adam Everett, and cash would be enough to get it done.

Just heard on ESPN "30 at 30" that the BoSox have offered the trade.

You think Manny whines in Boston....imagine him on a sub-.500 team after being on the Red Sox these past years.

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

does manny have a no-trade clause?

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

No no-trade clause specifically, but he's a 10-5 veteran now (10 years in the league and 5 with the same team) so that results in him having a say on any trade. So, Manny won't be going Baltimore (unfortunately, love to see Miggy on the Sox).

Re: Miguel Tejada Demands Trade
 

this deal would be pretty one-sided for the sox i think.
