Ruben Tejada hoping for more steals

Ruben Tejada told reporters on Monday afternoon that he is hoping to steal more bases this season.

Tejada worked with former teammate Jose Reyes this winter on his base-stealing skills. The 23-year-old shortstop tallied just four stolen bases in 114 games last season while posting a weak .289/.333/.351 batting line, so some more speed would be a welcome development from a fantasy perspective.
