"The Miguel Tejada deal will not be official until he successfully completes a physical tomorrow and signs his new one-year contract. Presumably, the O's will hold some kind of media conference so we can hear more from Miggy about his return to Baltimore and his upcoming switch to third base.

His arrival certainly alters the chemistry of the offensive attack, depending on whether Dave Trembley bats him second or fourth. That probably will depend on whether Garrett Atkins can get things figured out at the plate this spring. Either way, last year's National League leader in doubles (Tejada) will have a big impact."
