Great game by Ruben Tejada yesterday. Four for Five--two runs scored, two rbi's. Turned out to be the game winning RBI's. Lets keep this 3-0 going. To celebrate, Tejada's great game, here are five great Ruben Tejada quotes.
1) "He's like 14. He can play the game though."
--Jose Reyes, when the 20 year old Tejada first played for the Mets
2) "Ruben hits just as well 0-2 as he does 2-0. He's very aware of the strike zone."
--Jason Bay, on Tejada
3) "You can put him anywhere on the diamond and the kid is going to adapt...He has a strong enough arm to play anywhere."
--Ike Davis, on the versatility of Tejada
4) "He's a good hitter. You put somebody at the top who swings the bat as well as he does and it kind of puts a lot of pressure on their pitching staff."
--Daniel Murphy, on Tejada hitting lead off
5) "Guys who are going to use the field and be line-drive hitters, and if you make a mistake on them, they can hit a homer."
--Terry Collins, on how Tejada reminds him of players like Omar Infante and Placido Polanco
