Robinson Tejeda Clears Waivers

WEDNESDAY at 6:29pm: Surprisingly, Tejeda passed through waivers unclaimed.  He’s headed to Oklahoma.

TUESDAY at 9:07am: We discussed 26 year-old starter Robinson Tejeda here.  Imagine Carlos Silva with poor control and mid-90s heat (hmm, doesn’t sound too much like Silva actually).  Anyway, the Rangers designated Tejeda for assignment last week and have until Wednesday to trade him.  Jon Daniels doesn’t expect a deal, meaning Tejeda may simply be plucked off waivers.  He’s a project, so he might make more sense for a rebuilding team.  Jayson Stark saw no indications that the Mets were after Tejeda; David Lennon did.

The above-linked article from Anthony Andro also notes that outfielder Nelson Cruz passed through waivers unclaimed and is headed to Triple A.  The 27 year-old seems to have earned the Quad-A tag.
