Mets special assistant J.P. Ricciardi reiterated Thursday that the front office is happy heading into the 2014 season with Ruben Tejada as their starting shortstop.
It's more of the same narrative that has been heard from the Mets this offseason, as they continue to downplay their interest in free agent Stephen Drew. While it's admirable that they continue to throw their support publicly in Tejada's direction, it's hard to believe that they are truly content with the 24-year-old shortstop and his .202/.259/.260 line from a season ago playing on a nightly basis.
