Tejada Charged With Lying to Investigators

Former Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada was charged today with lying to congressional investigators about the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.
Federal prosecutors accused Tejada of making misrepresentations to congressional staffers during an interview in a Baltimore hotel room focusing on the prevalence of steroids in the game.
The charge came in "a criminal information," a document that can be filed only with the defendant's consent and usually signals a plea deal is near. Tejada, who now plays for the Houston Astros, is scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. tomorrow in U.S. District Court in Washington, court officials said.
quote:
Tejada faces a maximum penalty of a year in jail, but advisory sentencing guidelines call for a sentence of probation to six months behind bars.
His attorney, Mark Tuohey, declined to comment last night about the possibility of his client entering a plea deal. He was not available to comment this morning, an assistant said.

huge blow for astros playoff hopes
Their hopes were destroyed years ago when their farm system was milked dry. The offense is there, for the most part, but outside of Oswalt the pitching is horrendous.

I was thinking a successful season for the Astros this year would be .500. Now if he is not on the field maybe 70 wins. He brings a lot of energy to the field, plays a good short, and can hit well. Who the hell will play short now? Does Kaz move over and someone else play second?

but the stros can void the contract if he goes to jail,, freeing up some $$
this is great news for the Astros
dump an overpriced over the hill player and get some cash freed up

KazMat can shift to short. Drew Sutton can play 2nd. I don't think hes played very much short so it would be better to put him at 2B. Or if that doesn't work...Blum at 2nd. Ya'll are mainly assuming the worst though. Miggy is going to plead guilty to lying before congress and as part of his plea bargin will probably just get probation and will be playing for the Stros this season.
