The last time Jeter didn’t get elected to start was 2005, when Miguel Tejada got the nod during his second year in Baltimore. Tejada is now playing in the National League and has aged like an open bottle of Boone’s Farm wine. So, is there anyone in this year’s field at shortstop who could pull a Tejada ‘05 and keep Jeter from starting? Strangely enough, there is: Edgar Renteria, Boston’s former SS [link]
