BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2012-01-20 14:00:00	Do you think the Mets will call up Matt Harvey this season and give him another full year in the minors? Also, how do you think Ruben Tejada will do in place of Reyes? (Scot from Washington, DC )	Harvey will spend most, if not all of the year in the minors. September callup at best, as he's not ready. I actually like Tejada as a solid performer. He's not a star, but there are plenty of shortstops I'd take Tejada over. (Kevin Goldstein)
2011-12-02 14:00:00	What would you estimate for the number of times out of 100 the threesome of Dee Gordon, Jemile Weeks, and Jose Altuve has more productive careers than the threesome of Ruben Tejada, Johnny Giavotella, and Kyle Seager? (goiter6 from MN)	98. (Kevin Goldstein)
2011-10-31 13:00:00	If you were Sandy Alderson's right hand man, and Reyes has already signed elsewhere, what would you advise as a course of action? (Matt from Whippleville, NY )	Abject surrender, like the rebels at Appomattox. They can stick Ruben Tejada in there, but there isn't a handy way to replace the offense or the electricity that player provides. (Steven Goldman)
2011-02-14 13:00:00	Jason Heyward, Mike Stanton and Starlin Castro all played last year at age 20. Has there ever been a year when that many 20-year-olds did as well in the majors as those three? Of the players who've done that in the past, have most ended up in Cooperstown? (Rex Little from Big Bear, CA)	Restricting our inquiry to hitters who had at least 200 PAs, last year had four: the ones you mention plus Ruben Tejada. Years with four 20 year-old hitters aren't so rare (e.g. 1976, 1970), but the only year in recent memory with MORE 20 year-old hitters is 1964. That year, Ed Kranepool, Rusty Staub, Tony Conigliaro, Derrell Griffith, Ed Kirkpatrick, and Terry Jones all played their age-20 seasons. As best I can tell, that (6) is the record. (Tommy Bennett)
2011-02-14 13:00:00	20 team strato keeper league - who would rather have, Ruben Tejada or Jake Fox? (goiter6 from MN)	I wouldn't be too excited about either of those guys, but I guess I'd take Tejada for position and upside. (Tommy Bennett)
2010-07-01 14:00:00	Ruben Tejada: still just a utility guy or does he have a chance to be a regular with J Wilson type career? (Rave from Mahwah, NJ)	Well, he's not the glove wiz Wilson is. I could see him having some years as a second-division starter certainly. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-11-19 13:00:00	The Mets starting 2B on Opening Day 2010 will be ...? In 2011???? (dianagramr from NYC)	Luis Castillo. Ruben Tejada. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-08-21 14:00:00	When do you see Ruben Tejada making an impact in the majors and what kind of impact do you see him making? (Carl from Buffalo, NY)	Ruben Tejada is going to be a big leaguer, but not an impact one. For me, he's kind of a future Enrique Wilson kind of player. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-05-28 14:00:00	Am I wrong to love Ruben Tejada? 19 years old in AA ball, hitting for average and demonstrating great plate discipline? (Thomas from NY)	Is love really ever wrong? Love is a good thing, the world needs more love. In all seriousness though, I like Tejada for all the reasons you do, but I'm not convinced his more than a good utility guy in the end. (Kevin Goldstein)
