Miguel Tejada needs an idiot to give him multiple years and multiple millions of dollars. And Tony LaRussa might just be that man. Take it away, Derrick Goold:
La Russa acknowledged interest in Miguel Tejada, as reported a week ago in The Post-Dispatch. It’s his understanding that Tejada would entertain a move to third base and it’s his opinion that Tejada could handle the position. Though the former American League MVP has lost the power that made him so potent a producer in Oakland and Baltimore, La Russa still sees Tejada as capable of handling a middle-of-the-order role. “We’ve talked about Miguel,” La Russa said.
He described him as an opponent that still gets your attention. That’s a fit for the middle of the order.
