So How About Mark Teixeira

[Plumpamania]

And I thought JD Drew and David Ortiz weren't hitting .

Obviously this is a joke/baiting thread (which I don't have a problem with, for the record), but on a serious note, as I mentioned in the Yankees' GT, I do believe he might be on the cusp of breaking out. He has had significantly better ABs the last two games than he had through the first three weeks of the season, and I wouldn't be surprised if he got hot when the Yankees got back home.

Of the three, David Ortiz is definitely finished even though he has far fewerABs than the other two.

Definitely time for the Yankees to dump Tex.

Let's trade our two best players, Varitek and McDonald, for him...

Well put, Rhet.

Tex always starts slow, he has always had bad Aprils, then he starts tearing it up

Tex always starts slow' date=' he has always had bad Aprils, then he starts tearing it up[/quote']This is far worse than his worst April. His batting average is down more than 100 pts. from his April career average. His OBP is down 50 pts from his usual April and his OPS is down a whopping 200+ pts. from his average April.

I'll say the same thing every time a Yankees fan acts like a Red Sox player's struggles in April are of any significance.

 

Better release him...

I remember similar threads last season.

Wall ball double today. He's starting to figure it out. I will be laughing at this thread.
