Miguel Tejeda?!

I haven't followed individual player stats as closely as I normally do. So I quickly checked today and saw that Miguel Tejeda is leading the NL with a .356 batting average! Is Tejada a good player? I think so. He did win the 2002 AL MVP award. But he is also a lifetime .288 hitter. And now, in his 13th season and 35 years of age (or is it 33? Or 37 - ah, whatever), he is batting .356?! Amazing.

P.S. Oh yeah, Tejada is also leading the NL with 20 doubles and 71 hits.

    I have no stats to back up this statement, but I think that Tejeda's batting style is an almost perfect fit for that park.

    Just seems that way to me.

    I could be mistaken but believe Miggy was hitting about the same this time last year (was selected to be on the All-Star team) and then his average plunged afterwards.

    As a side note, he hit a walk off home run in the bottom of the 11th last night.

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    Hmm. His HR numbers are down significnatly, but his OBP and SLG are higher than ever.

    Is he off the juice yet?

    The season is still early, his #'s will cool off soon enough.

    hey, he was always a good player; perennial all star, good for him.
