March 20, 2010 Miguel Tejada went 0-for-3 against the Pirates on Saturday, lowering his spring average to .154. Our View:Not the kind of start the O's were envisioning when they signed Tejeda earlier this winter. That being said, considering he is coming off of a 199-hit season, and returning to a ballpark and city where he experienced great success, he should be just fine in 2010. |

January 26, 2010 Miguel Tejada's one-year, $6 million deal with the Orioles became official on Tuesday. Switching from shortstop to third base in 2010, he'll have the opportunity to earn more through incentives. Our View:A little known fact is that Tejada's 199 hits were second in the National League last season. While his power continues to decline dramatically, and his age increase exponentially, he still has plenty of pop left, and playing in the hitter-friendly Camden Yards should only help him. |

January 23, 2010 Miguel Tejada's one-year deal with Baltimore is apparently worth $6 million, according to Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman. Our View:The deal also reportedly includes some potential performance bonuses. Look for Tejada to be slotted somewhere between No. 5-7 in Baltimore's lineup and make for a viable later-round fantasy shortstop. |

January 23, 2010 The Orioles have signed Miguel Tejada to a one-year deal, according to the Baltimore Sun. Our View:Terms of the deal have yet to surface, and Tejada also must pass a physical, but it looks like he'll indeed reunite with his former ball club; Tejada hit .311 with 102 home runs and 429 RBI from 2004-07 in Baltimore. Coming off a nice season with Houston where he hit .313 with 14 home runs and 86 RBI over 158 games, Tejada is still a fine addition to the Orioles' lineup. While his upside is limited, he should still draw decent fantasy interest as a low-risk shortstop. |

January 8, 2010 The A's have contacted Miguel Tejada's agent regarding their interest in signing the free agent shortstop, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Our View:Tejada, who started his career in Oakland, is still a viable shortstop, both at the plate and in the field, and would surely bat somewhere near the top of the lineup if he landed with the A's. Stay tuned. |

January 6, 2010 Even in the wake of the mega-deal they just gave Matt Holliday, the Cardinals may still pursue free agent shortstop/third baseman Miguel Tejada, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Our View:But it's not likely, however. Tejada, age 35, would have to be very reasonable in his contract demands, and with Brendan Ryan entrenched at short in St. Louis, he would only be signed to play third. Unless his market just totally collapses, expect Tejada to be playing elsewhere in 2010. |
