Mets manager Terry Collins said of Ruben Tejada going into next season that the shortstop job "is his, but he's got to show everybody that he wants it desperately." It's been well documented that the Mets want to see more commitment from Tejada, whose season ended Wednesday due to a broken right fibula. He'll be 100 percent for spring training but will need to show improved work ethic. "My message is real simple: This job is his, but he's got to show everybody that he wants it desperately," Collins said. "Like any professional athlete you've got to say, 'I'm going to dedicate this offseason to show up next spring and be the best player that I can possibly be.' He's good enough to be that guy. But as this year shows, hey look, no job is that secure. You've got to come in and say, 'This is my job and no one is taking it.'"
