McLane says that the 'stros don't have a "backup plan" if Tejada is unable to play this season. Just off the top of my head, I could see Kaz shifting over to SS, and having Loretta (or a Loretta/Blum/Wiggy platoon) at 2B. It certainly doesn't help the defense to have those slower guys out there every day, but none of them are a liability at the plate, either.
