Former Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada would not have been my first choice at the beginning of the offseason, but he might be the best option left. I can't get excited about Joe Crede, so I would be all for it, regardless of the problematic nature of bringing a guy back who was right in the middle of the Orioles' wing of baseball's performance-enhancing drug scandal.

He'll never be able to completely regain his good name, but he did something this past week that certainly will help - sending a truckload of food, water and medical supplies to earthquake victims in Haiti and traveling to the ravaged country to help on the ground.

I've always liked Miggi personally, so it would be nice to see him in an Orioles uniform this spring. I think a few of his former (and potentially future) teammates would agree, but there's still the small matter of agreeing on a contract.

So, let's hear it. Do you think it would be a good idea?

Bring him back. We need a right-handed power bat for the middle of the lineup. He'll play a bunch of games at third and can spell Luke Scott as DH against tough lefties. He's never played third before - and didn't want to switch to third when he was here and lost a step at short - but he has soft hands and good reflexes. Give him a two-year deal for 5 million per and our lineup will be scary. - Blade

No on Miggi! Too much baggage. ... If we have to sign someone, sign [Hank] Blalock. Even part-time, his numbers would have looked good on any Oriole. ... - rphall

The thing about Miggi is when things are going great he is a great teammate. He plays hard, hustles, etc. ...

When things are going bad he acts like an impetulant child, he dogs it, makes excuses, and doesn't accept any responsibility for himself.

With the O's in another rebuilding year, I think things are more likely to go "bad" than "good." If that is the case, we don't need that Miggi in the locker room, especially with all the young kids we have on the roster now. - rick in ashburn
