Recently reunited Oriole Miguel Tejada will likely be playing 3B for the O's this season. Best part of the job you ask? How about being endorsed by Cal Ripken Jr. and Brooks Robinson? The two agree Tejada has a learning curve, but feel his previous work at SS and his hands will do him well.
The Yankees finalized the Randy Winn deal today. They also signed Marcus Thames to a minor league deal today. I find it hysterical seeing as he was traded away years ago for Ruben Sierra. Thames hit .252 with 13HRs and 36 RBIs in 87 games. Thames is a good player that is now stuck unfortunately on the bench for the Yanks. If the Yanks are smart, he'll get in a lot of games on base seeing as his percentage .777.
Rumors and Notes:
Japanese pitcher Hashanori Takashi has turned down offers from the Orioles and Mets. Next to decline should be the Red Sox leaving the Dodgers and Giants to battle it out for his services. Takashi prefers the west coast.
The Indians may have their eyes set on Jermaine Dye, Russell Branyan, or Jonny Gomes according to Terry Pluto of The Plain Dealer.
The Cardinals have avoided arbitration with OF Skip Schumaker.
Don't expect to see Livan Hernandez back in D.C. unless the Nats don't find a quality arm.
