I admittedly wrote him off after mid-2008 figuring he would never have control to ever succeed. Good call Dave, I was not aware that Robinson Tejada was having such a “good” year.

It was obvious that Tejeda had problems when people were on base, and electric with the bases empty, yet the all wise Trey kept putting him in situations where there were runners in scoring position and expecting him to get out of it.

Just saying, someone like him is more appealing than an extreme ground ball throwing 4th starter type.
