Rangers deal Dellucci to Phillies

Trade nets Tejada as starter to fill in for Eaton

 

By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com

 

The Rangers have traded outfielder David Dellucci to the Phillies for pitchers Robinson Tejada and outfielder Jake Blalock.

 

The trade leaves the Rangers with an outfield for Brad Wilkerson in left, Laycne Nix in center and Kevin Mench in right. Adrian Brown made the team as a reserve outfielder.

 

Tejada is expected to join the Rangers rotation and replace Adam Eaton, who has decided to have surgery on his right middle finger and is expected to miss 12 weeks.

 

Tejada was 4-3 with a 3.57 ERA in 26 games (13 starts) for the Phillies as a rookie last year. He also pitched for the Dominican Republic in the recent World Baseball Classic.

They did, and all for a fourth outfielder.  Burrell--Rowand--Abreu?  Stupid trade here by Gillick.

Sure appears that way. Perhaps the Phillies are concerned about his longterm durability, and were attempting to get something from him now.
