Heyman's Latest: Crede, Ethier, Teixeira

SI.com rumor guru Jon Heyman has a new column up; let's take a gander.

• Heyman talked to an NL scout who considers Joe Crede a below average third baseman right now.  If that scout's opinion is the consensus, it makes sense that Kenny Williams is inclined to wait for Crede to build more value.
• The Rangers pushed hard to acquire Andre Ethier from the Dodgers, both in a Mark Teixeira deal and after L.A. signed Andruw Jones.  If I were a Dodger fan, I'd be angry to see the team put its pride ahead of winning by playing Juan Pierre over Ethier.
• Heyman talked to a general manager who felt the Braves have no chance of signing Tex.  That GM named the Red Sox, Orioles, Yankees, Giants, Mariners, Dodgers, and Angels as potential suitors.  In a survey of almost 1,700 MLBTR readers, the Yankees were picked as the team most likely to sign Teixeira (followed closely by the Braves).
