But more to the point: The A's believed Tejada was replaceable by Crosby and made no effort to sign him. They believe Chavez is NOT replaceable by someone cheaper, and will make a serious effort to sign him. Other teams, they believe, use money inefficiently by overpaying for a Tejada, Giambi, Damon, Koch, Guillen.
Talking about Tejada/Jeter/Nomar misses DePodesta's point, I think.
