But then again I don't think the Orioles were necessarily looking for a shortstop, they are just looking for some name players and some offense. They very well could have stayed with Brian Roberts at ss and he could have done a good job, but the opportunity to acquire a player like Tejada with his high profile name and offensive production was just too much to pass up. When they eventually sign Vlad and/or PudgeJavy on the other hand, I think you get everything; defense, offense, name.
