Miguel Tejada is a deserving all star

[Frobby]

Kudos to Miggy, currently hitting .326, for making the NL all star team. According to fangraphs, he ranks 4th in value among MLB shortstops, behind Hanley Ramirez, Marco Scudaro and (yep) Derek Jeter. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=ss&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=6&season=2009&month=0

Hes really played well since the trade to Houston.

Very deserving pick, indeed.

Congrats to Miggy! Glad to hear he's still playing well. So many of the "accused" just lost it.

He's a different Miggy, a softer, gentler Miggy, but he's still good.

He really hasn't hit for power and isn't coming close to his career RBI numbers... but he's always been able to hit .320 consistently and he's done it in back to back years with Houston now. Perhaps if his fielding wasn't so bad, he was willing to move to 3B and if maybe we didn't get anything good in the trade... I might miss him.

Nah...

Orioles fans were lucky to have Tejada to cheer for for four seasons. Many of us still cheer for him in his new uniform.

Baggage aside, he's been a heckuva player for a long time, and I'm happy to see him still going strong.

He hit .283 last year...just sayin'
