Umm, ok. Seems kindof like a weird trade. Tejada goes from one dormant team to one doormat team. The Astros team has no chance in the NL Central, and the Orioles got back a bunch of players who appear to be supporting role type guys in Luke Scott, Matt Albers, Troy Patton and Dennis Sarfate, Michael Costanzo.

Personally, I do not know why the O's were hell bent on trading Tejada right now. His value is depressed, and he would have fetched more come the trade deadline to a team that was making a run and needed a bat.
