I think if they decide he's the odd man out he might go on a DL stint until there's another injury or rosters expand, whichever comes first.

Certainly Tejada doesn't provide enough (any?) of an offensive upgrade to justify his bad defense and I just haven't seen enough of Burriss there to know what his defense is like, though he's been good at 2B. Fontenot might be the answer by default but it sure would be nice is he were RH instead of LH so he and Crawford could form a platoon.
