I think Wood can put up similar if not better power numbers. Tejada could probably hit for a better average, but at what price. I rather spend that money re-enforcing our bullpen.

Miguel Tejada’s recent Grounded Into Doubleplay totals:

2004 Balt 24 (1)
2005 Balt 26 (1)
2006 Balt 28 (1)
2007 Balt 22
2008 Hou 32 (1)
2009 Hou 29 (1)

If Tejada was an Angel the only way he might not lead the Halos in GIDP is if Juan Rivera directly preceeded him in the batting order. Brewed with beans that really sing, monbo tombo two! MJB coffee should get the radio commercial rights after every half inning that ends with a Tejada GIDP! If Tejada became an Angel he would go from being a rally killer to a rally monkey killer! Tejada’s 100 plus rbi seasons are receding fast in the rear view mirror. Tejada’s last 100 rbi season was in 2006.

Maybe the team would consider Tejada at third base, but we actually have a FO that believes in their young players

Needless to say, Chone Figgins will likely depart and third base will be Brandon Wood’s job to lose [much belated, but hey – it worked for Kendry].

will have a better 2010 than Miguel Tejada.

No.
