Robinson Tejada is having a breakout season for the Kansas City Royals
27-year old righty reliever/starter Robinson Tejada always had the arm to succeed and now he’s starting to put it all together. Tejada has pitched in 32 games (3 starts) for the Royals this season and he is 3-1 with a 3.09 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. He has whiffed 74 batters while allowing only 34 hits in 58 1/3 innings showing how nasty his stuff can be. But he needs to tighten up his control a bit as he has walked 38 batters for the Royals. Tejada has really been nails since moving into the starting rotation. In his three starts with the Royals, Tejada is 2-0 with a 0.55 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP. If he finishes strongly Tejada could win a starting job for the 2010 rotation for the Royals.
