those moves are really going to make miguel tejada happy. kris benson is nothing more than a .500 pitcher. the orioles certainly should not be giving up anything close to a good prospect in that trade if it goes down.

I hope this deal goes down, because Benson is gonna get hammered in the AL East

[jsinger121]
