miguel tejada?
My brother Bobby, he posts here BobboFittos, made a strange argument to me. Tejada is my favorite player, and I think hes the best player in baseball. However, Bobby was telling me that in Tejadas MVP year, 2002, Scott Hatteberg was more productive in the 136 games he played offensively. Is there any validity to his argument? Thanks 2plus2. Im a new poster btw.

Re: miguel tejada?
I believe this is straight out of Moneyball. Haven't read the book in some time but I remember reading about this somewhere, and that sounds about right.
Edited to say that I do not remember it comparing him to Tejada ever, but it did say that Hatteberg had the best ____ (I can't remember. Jack, tbach, someone fill this statistic in) in the MLB.

[/ QUOTE ] Pitches seen per PA. I don't think that Hatte's better straight up, but per $ there's no chance that Miggy's better. Also, Miggy is way overpaid and Hatte's somewhat underpaid. Ahh, the beauty of taking advantage of an innefficient market.

Re: miguel tejada?
I think Tejada is a bargain by today's standards, compare him to the two other premiere SS in his division, would you rather have:
Jeter at around 19/yr Renteria at 10/yr Tejada at around 12/yr strictly based on the numbers i think he's a great deal, throw in the clubhouse/team leader type stuff and he's a steal
