Btw, isnt he something like Pelfrey? Age, stuff, struggling...

It's not like the Rangers are awash in pitching! He's definitely worth a look, but not for a prospect of any real value. It is also important to note that he pitched in Texas, which would inflate his ERA a bit. I’m highly dubious that Texas will allow a young pitcher with good stuff to get away for nothing.

He is young, 25, with a live arm. The kind of guy you take a flyer on as a AAA pitcher and see what you can do with him. You correct a few things and you have the next Ollie. bvaz,

Don't forget that he started his Mets career just like he ended it. I was hoping he'd do the same with the Braves. I know…it just pisses me off.

It was the 2nd half of the season when his 40 something arm started to kills us probably due to fatigue. Glavine started last year and the year before like that as well.

If he clears waivers Texas can send him to thier own AAA team. If a team trades for him, he likely has to stay on the 25 man roster or be DFA by his new team. I doubt Texas will lose him for nothing. Once he clears waivers he does become much more tradable though, as he can go to minors or majors. He is likely out of options, but doesnt have the service time to make his one choice.

The thing is, I think, Tejeda is in the same boat as Gotay was and is out of options/ will have to be subjected to waivers before the Rangers can send him to the minors. This leads me to believe that the Rangers would have the same intent as the Mets did with Gotay: 1) risk the player on waivers, hoping he passes and put him in the minors or 2) the player is picked-up on waivers... so be it. If I'm right, Tejeda will either be in the Rangers minor league affiliate or on another major league roster by waiver claim... i.e. not the Mets, although I would like him in New Orleans.

He has good stuff, a la a Maine or PErez, and the Rangers are obviously down on him. Seems like Omar's m.o. Cheap high upside pickup and see what the jacket could do with him. I am all for it. Go out and try to get Daniel Cabrera too while youre at it. I cant help but believe with his stuff he will put it all topgether at some point, even if only for a year or two. Tejeda is interesting.
