How far is Miggy from a call up?

[wildcard]

The O's have 39 players on the 40-man. The Orioles web site is missing Exposito for some reason.

Thanks Paul

Been watching him down here in Norfolk.....if he gets called up anytime soon I will be VERY surprised.

He has no power left and is a singles hitter at the AAA level.....he would be toast in the AL East. No thanks.

Again, I can't seem to post this enough... I think most people are hoping and expecting to see this miggy

...but that Tejada is long since past. He's a washed up infielder with no power and very little OBP these days. He was a filler/bench/util/pinch hitter for the Giants TWO years ago when they won the world series. I don't see how the current Miggy is any upgrade over what we currently have. As much as I dislike Betemit, I think I'd even stick with him over Tejada right now. The guy is just sadly washed up.

FYI, he played for the Giants last year, not the WS year.

Can the O's bring him up for 1 day and retire him?

[crowmst3k!]

Weirdly enough, I wish we still had Wiggy for Third Base, not Miggy.

Weams can't hit the cheese anymore. Since he gave up the PEDs.

Testicular shrinkage is a real bummer.

As excited as I was about the Adam Jones extension, I'm the opposite about bringing Tejada back.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Awwwwww!!!

I still love Miguel!!!

Roch on Miggi per a scout, "Miguel Tejada collected his first extra-base hit yesterday in eight games with Norfolk, stroking a double as part of his 2-for-5 afternoon. He's 11-for-29 (.379) with five RBIs.

I talked to a scout from outside the organization who says Tejada has no range at third base, but he makes all the routine plays. He'll field anything hit to him and make an accurate throw. The Orioles would probably settle for that, though "no range" reminds me too much of Tony Batista.

Also, the scout said Tejada makes consistent contact - also a plus - but doesn't have much power anymore. He mostly hits the ball to the opposite field, and he's morphed into a singles hitter who will mix in the occasional double."

No power, no range, pure contact hitter... I believe I said that very thing here <a href="http://s1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/isestrex/Emoticons/?action=view&current=wasnt-me.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/isestrex/Emoticons/wasnt-me.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Yeah but we needed "confirmation" from a real scout....you're starting to sound like SG.

Miggy better get used to AAA, because I still dont' see him as anything more then an insurance veteran player in case someone gets hurt. I don't think Reynolds, Davis, Betemit, Johnson, or even Flaherty are going anywhere.

[crowmst3k!]

Maybe he reinvents himself as a Wade Boggs-ian 3b, hits a ton of singles and plays good D. The 1996 Yankee squad got 3.4 FWAR out of that type of player at 3B.

Coincidentally, that type of 3B was who Buck had in his 1995 Yankees stint.

Boggs walked a ton, though. I doubt Miggy will ever do that.

This is true. This is very, very true.
