Morning Buzz: 11/5

1. 151 days until Opening Day.

2. My prediction came true: Yankees in 6. While I'm on a roll, lets go ahead and say Braves in 4 in 2010.

3. The deal is complete for Tim Hudson. It's supposedly three years at $9 million/year. The contract probably won't be announced until early next week due to Hudson needing an MRI on his elbow and he'll be at a charity event all weekend.

4. Jorge Says No analyzes the potential Mark Teahen deal that is on the table. The deal doesn't do much for either team. You know what you're getting in Teahen: a not so good OBP with decent power = below average. Getz has speed and the potential to get on base at a good rate, but he hasn't showed it yet. Fields was once a top prospect and hit 23 homers in 2007, but he has yet to establish himself as an everyday player. I think the Royals end of the deal has much more potential, but all three players are on the wrong side of 25 and none have established themselves.

5. There's no way in hell the Braves will agree to trade Javier Vazquez for Dan Uggla. And I say that with 80% confidence.
