When the Angels and Orioles engaged in trade talks in July, Miguel Tejada said he had no interest in playing third base. As the Angels and Orioles met for the first time since those talks collapsed, Tejada explained his reluctance to play third by saying he didn't want to embarrass himself or the Angels by learning a new position in a pennant race. "They're fighting to try to go to the playoffs," he said, "and I don't know if I can help at a position I haven't played." The Angels figure to revive trade talks for Tejada this winter. They could give Tejada all spring to adjust to third base. "I know that, but I can still play good shortstop," he said. "I'm a shortstop, man. I don't think I have to play third base yet. Maybe later on."
