Miguel Tejada: Shortstop for the Orioles and A's, he was traded to the Astros in December 2007. The 2005 AL MVP was implicated by Rafael Palmeiro as a steroid user after Palmeiro tested positive, and he was also named by former teammate Adam Piatt, who said he obtained steroids and HGH for Tejada. Was charged with lying to Congress in February 2009.
