They arent very good. But I think they are a better option than a shortstop who is 31 and on the decline. I would be very surprised to see Tejada hit more than 35 hr's this year. Be interesting to see what happens in a couple of years. In my opinion, give up those 5 guys for a mediocre pitcher instead of Tejada.
