Miguel Tejada is not a happy camper after the Giants acquired Orlando Cabrera:

Asked for a reaction to the Giants’ acquisition of another right-handed shortstop, Tejada snapped his displeasure not at the team but at reporters for writing that he lacks the range to play shortstop.

“People forget I’ve done too much in this game,” said Tejada, who is on the disabled list with an abdominal strain. “All the things you guys put in the papers, that I don’t have range in this game, I’ll prove it. I never pay attention to what reporters put about me. The only thing I do is hard work. … All the reporters in San Francisco forget who I am.”

“I’m here. If they want me here, I’m fine. If they don’t, I really don’t worry about it.”

Hard work and an vitamin injection or two. Miguel has been around the game long enough to know that unless you’re Cal Ripken or Derek Jeter, they don’t play you for what you’ve done, but for what you can do.

Tejada has a point, however. For the first time since 2008, he’s saving runs in the field. However, that’s at third base, not shortstop. With Pablo Sandoval back at third, Tejada is not contributing with neither the bat nor the glove.
