Well, I hope you’re right, since the vibe from the press is that the Mets are his most serious (maybe only) suitors. I really don’t see him as a real lead off man, but he is likely to be better than anyone else in our system, though I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tejada around .350 OBP in his second full year (I agree that Bourn’s got a few years in the tank; my point was that Tejada’s 22 heading into his second full season and is likely to get better). But I do worry that the Braves dumped him and quickly moved to pick up an upgrade; their track record of who to keep and who to dump pretty solid.
