DLD 4/17/08 Tejada turned 31 last year, will turn 34 this year.

If only Tejada was showing signs of aging and Chavez was playing up to his youthful potential, this would make Billy Beane look like even more of a genius!  What I don't understand is that it seems like a lot of DR players end up costing themselves money by lying about their age and being brought around a lot slower than they might otherwise have been brought up.  This means Tejada will be hitting free agency again at 35(!) instead of one or two years earlier, which could make a huge impact on the length and size of his next contract.
