Cardinals More Committed To Younger, Homegrown Shortstop

Miguel Tejada could still be an everyday shortstop in 2010. But his options are dwindling.

The primary reason is an obvious one: Only a small number of teams -- Oakland, Washington, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Houston -- are unsettled at the position next year.

In the American League, for example, Oakland is the only team without a player on its roster who started 100-plus games at shortstop this year.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals, Reds and Astros seem committed to younger (read: cheaper) homegrown shortstops.
