Time For Teixeira to Step Up
—
It is estimated that the Yankees saved roughly 40 runs in 2009, just by switching from Jason Giambi playing first base to Mark Teixeira. According to Bill James Fielding Bible, from 2006 to 2008, Jason Giambi rated a -30 (meaning he made 30 less plays than the average 1st baseman), while Mark ...

When it comes to Yanks offense, Teixeira's on outside looking in
Big League Stew — ... with just two hits apiece in the series against the Twins and Angels. The Yanks' No. 3 hitter has struck out seven times in the ALCS and he hasn't had an extra-base hit since ALDS Game 2, when he hit his walkoff in extra innings (which produced his only RBI of the playoffs).  That big gamewinner, combined with the huge efforts of his teammates, has purchased Teixeira a little bit of leeway in The Bronx. Still, we're starting to see some NY media types start to grumble and wonder when Teixeira is going to start to hit. If it weren't for his ...
