Tejada has been traded

The Orioles finally parted ways with Tejada on Wednesday, trading the All-Star shortstop to the Houston Astros for a five-player package.

Baltimore acquired outfielder Luke Scott, righthanders Matt Albers and Dennis Sarfate, lefthander Troy Patton and minor-league third baseman Mike Costanzo in exchange for Tejada, who became unhappy with the Orioles two years ago and requested a trade.

This looks like a great deal for the Orioles in trading somebody who obviously didn’t wanna be here anymore, while getting some pretty good quality back for him.   Hopefully 2 of the prospects can continue in a positive manner to the team.  I hear Sarfate an hit 100mph on the gun, so that would be really nice to have.  What are your feelings on the trade?
