    I noticed you mentioned him in another thread, but I just let it go hoping that nobody would mention it again. :) At least when I miss I don't screw around...I miss big.

    He's having an unbelievable year. He's improved in every aspect of his game, especially those I was faulting him for: plate discipline and defense. ARod is miles & miles ahead of any other big league SS, but Tejada's no worse than the 3rd best SS in baseball this year, probably 2nd best. It'll be interesting to see if Tejada can produce like this & keep improving with the glove in seasons to come.

    Actually I was really stunned when he made the initial comment but I'm not an A's or anything. I just noticed Tejada was continuing to have an awesome season and the last few days he's gotten some press for his late inning stuff. I'm shocked that the A's have played so well without Giambi. I agree it will be interesting to see if this is a career year or indicative of Tejada's emergence as a real star in MLB.

    I said I'd rather have Everett over Lugo so don't feel too bad. Lugo shocked the hell out of me with his defense this year.
