Tejada Back With Orioles:It's Deja Vu All Over Again

Rate: 1 Flag

tejada  In the recent wake of the MLB season underway, Miguel Tejada is once again a free agent and he's heading back to Baltimore.

The six-time All Star shortshop signed a one-year deal for $6 million with the Baltimore Orioles.

Of course, that's chump change compared to Tejada's first signing with the team as a free agent back in 2003, for a six-year $72 million deal.

The shortshop only managed to play for Baltimore four years before being traded to the Houston Astros in 2007.

While playing for the Astros Tejada put-up some decent numbers, but will the 35-year old shortshop have what the Orioles need to get the job done in Birdland?

Well, that question remains for half of the Orioles roster. Hopefully, by mid-season Mr. Tejada won't cry and plead for a trade again- since he already knows the situation of the team.

I hate to say it, Debbie57, but it's gonna take a lot more than a Miguel Tejada career year to get the job done in birdland this year, looks like. But he might still have enough in him to help out.
Debbie,

When I was little, if the Orioles were in town there was no one on the streets, everyone was at the games!
