Miguel Tejada finishes in a tie for 23rd in the N.L. MVP voting
35-year old righty swinging SS Miguel Tejada tied Yadier Molina for 23rd in the MVP voting in the N.L. Tejada played in 158 games for the Astros last season and he was 199 for 635 (.313 avg, .795 OPS) with 83 runs scored, 14 homers, 86 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. He has now played in 1,871 games in his 13-year major league career and he is 2,114 for 7,320 (.289 avg, .810 OPS) with 1,116 runs scored, 285 homers, 1,185 RBIs and 78 stolen bases. Tejeda will likely be leaving the Astros as a free agent and he will be hard to replace because shortstops that can hit like he does don’t grow on trees.
