Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada has spent the start of the season at the bottom of the team's batting order, and has managed to show solid on-base skills despite little lineup protection.
Playing in an American League park Saturday against the Twins, Tejada batted ninth for the second game in a row. He went 1 for 4 in the game, his eighth game in the first 11 having reached base at least once. Tejada smacked a double for the second game in a row, and came around to score once in a 4-2 win.
Tejada is batting just .256, but he is sporting a solid .356 on-base percentage thanks to five walks. He has struck out just five times as well, while scoring six runs and driving in three in 39 at bats.
