As the Orioles head into the final days of the season, they also are moving closer to having to make a tough decision on their most accomplished player, Miguel Tejada, whose future in Baltimore and at shortstop remains unsettled. Though no Orioles executive will say it publicly, there's plenty of sentiment in the front office that if Tejada returns, it should be at another position. Tejada has struggled defensively this season at the only position he has ever played, making 15 errors and compiling a .969 fielding percentage, which would be his worst since he became an everyday player for the Oakland Athletics in 1998. "He doesn't move real well," said Orioles third base and infield coach Juan Samuel. "I don't know how we can [fix] it. He's not overweight. People say that he's in better shape this year than he was last year. I don't know if he's tired, or if all those games in a row [1,152 before a June injury] are catching up to him. I can't put my finger on it. He just really hasn't been consistent."
