If Tejada can regain some of his offensive prowess, the Astros lineup could become one of more powerful in the league. Unfortunately for Houston, Tejada’s body seems to be breaking down and off the field distractions, which includes the possibility of him losing his green card in light of the federal investigation, will probably lead to another down year.
