Brian Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Miguel Tejada - SS - BAL - Jun. 27 - 9:48 am et The Washington Post reports that Miguel Tejada has been linked to the ongoing investigation involving Jason Grimsley's affidavit. We're not sure why this tidbit was treated as an aside and buried in the 12th paragraph of the column. It is the first confirmation we've seen of the Tejada link to the Grimsley affidavit, although there have been rumors. Grimsley and Tejada played together for parts of two seasons in Baltimore and the newspaper speculates that Tejada has been "sulking some of late" due to being linked to Grimsley. The increasing trade rumors probably aren't helping either. Jun. 27 - 9:48 am et Source: Washington Post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wasn't it Palmeiro who stated that Tejada gave him the Vitamin shot or whatever that he blamed on his testing positive for steroids? p.s.

I could be completely wrong here Yes, Palmeiro did say that. Tejada already had some suspicion on him because he played in Oakland with Giambi and the other abusers, so I think Palmeiro kind of just picked an easy target to deflect blame off of himself. I mean, Tejada could have actually had a part in Palmeiro's steroid abuse, but I think he was just Raffy's scapegoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Interesting thing to notE: His stats havent fallen off in the last few years. Pretty stable. Only a few less home runs. but nothing massive. his RBIs and Runs Score were lower than usual, but it might have just been because Baltimore was bad last year.
