How far has Tejada fallen.Look at his 2nd half number's

305 at bat's

3 homer's

23 rbi's

1 steal

ARE YOU KIDDIN ME,WHAT THE FU#K HAPPENED.

This is one of the biggest suprises of the year.

STEROID'S make a differece.Why is he 14 dollars and why is he going pretty high in drafts.

I would not go near anyone with these number's.HE'S DONE.

If you gave Alex Cora 305 at bats he would top these number's ,serious.I think his name is keeping his price up.Remember the year he drove in over 150 rbi's ,amazing.

eddiejag · Post by **eddiejag** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 12:29 am

Interesting prices

Maicer Izturis 9

Erick Aybar 6

I thought Aybar would be the starter .

Izturis should play all over as a super sub.

Along with Tejada, C Guzman and Theriot look out of whack.

Here are the projected dollar values for all AL shortstops according to our first issue of Fantasy Sports Magazine:I find it interesting that no AL shortstop is valued higher than $18. In my non-NFBC 10 team AL only auction league, which is based in NY state, Jeter goes for well over $20 (not by me). Peralta and Young generally go for more than $20 also.

One thing I can say though is SS's in the AL are weak!!

I'll finish up a Fact or Fiction Shortstops story today and get some discussion going on this group. I think we can all admit, this is a very interesting position. Give me an hour or so and I'll post this one.

eddie jag....whats up???

tejada a juicer, Pujols not...that is why Pujols is still a stud and should be a slam dunk #1 pick.....His average is worth more than any counting stats can possible be....
