In just about every league, the replacement level for SS will be lower than the 3B replacement level, so Tejada doesn't get any extra value at 3B. He does get a small, unquantifiable bump for giving you some flexibility at two positions: I'd probably be willing to spend a dollar or two extra for that. Beckham is at $4 in a standard league but would be worth about $7 at 2B. (Just look for a 2B with the same unadjusted value as him, or subtract the 3B replacement level and add the 2B replacement level.) There's also a small effect of raising the 2B replacement level and making 3B more scarce, but it's negligible. @LittlePanda: You can see the positional adjustments the Price Guide makes on the “League Info” tab of the results.

I mentioned this in another comment, but I would be curious to see what happens to values if you project positional eligibility. That is, what happens to Tejada's value if you believe he will get the requisite (in my league) 5 games at 3B soon enough in the year to have an impact? Or, and I realize this is not a well-kept secret, what happens to Beckham's value now that Ozzie G. has apparently announced that he (Beckham, not Ozzie) will start the year at 2B?
