bran Posts: 74	its a shame tex has always been one of my favorite players and when the yanks signed him i was very happy, but he is turning into giambi just pulls everything if he is batting lefty and a pitcher throws on the outside corner instead of going the other way and lining a gap shot to the left field gap for a double he rolls over and hits a routine ground ball to second. i though in that boston game where he hit that ball to left over the monster that he was figuring it out i was wrong

I always liked Teixeira since he started in Texas. I always wanted him to be in the Yanks and it became true. Sadly, just his first season in pinstripes was worth it. Since then, he went down a hill. He is still my fav player even though he's giving me a lot of headaches. And that homer on Fenway, I also thought he was starting to figuring out but I think we can assume it was a lucky swing.

I always looked at Tex like you would look at Josh Hamilton today.

Texieria is as thick in the head as any player I can remember. He was refering to himself in the 3rd person the other day. This is what I get from what he said. I'm going for HR's and the hell with everyone else .He will be lucky to hit in the .230's this year.If I was a manager on a opposing team I would fine my pitcher any time he threw him something he could pull. The guy is clueless and is coming off as very selfish. Can anybody on this team talk to this guy and get through? Has anybody seen him try to go the other way this year ? Once or twice maybe. I'm really starting to dislike him. You couldve typed that entire post and signed my name. I agree with every word you said. BTW, Reggie used to refer to himself in the 3rd person. Except he's in the HOF---Mark? LMAO! #rd person? IMO he's giving the team the 3rd degree. Joe, who does he think he is? When he really sucks it up he talks about the team as in we the team are stuggling. Every time I see the shift and see this idiot try to hit into it with his lop .200 average it really ticks me off. I could see why Ted Williams and his .340 average wouldn't change but not this dope. I don't think he even listens to Long because he knows better. He still hit 39 HR's and 111RBI although very few if any in the clutch so he doesn't need to improve or change. Numbnuts. I tell you Yanks...if you and I sat down at a bar tonite to discuss our Tex woes, theyd be rolling us out on gurneys before we got halfway thru. AWESOME posts dude! JoeGNJ

ninja108 Posts: 3,644	For many good players,by the time they get to free agency,many of their best years are behind them,and I think Tex is one of those players. As for Hamilton,he's a monster right now but I would not give any kind of long term deal,especially to come here. His off the field issues are too great of a concern and there is no telling when the effects of all the drugs he did will start to affect him on the field.

fatgiambi Posts: 1,110	i would argue giambi was way more clutch than tex and had important hits. tex simply cannot hit good pitching. he also cant hit when it matters because pitchers bear down and he has so many holes in his swing that they can get him out. thats an underrated aspect of playoff performance.

Good point about his swing. Quite possibly his BA has dropped becuase the opposition has figured out how to get him out and he hasn't adjusted. Pitchers will make enough mistakes that allow him to get his HR's. The law of averages would suggest that. If you have 700 PA's that's at least 2100 pitches, probably more. Thirty mistakes out of 2100 pitches is not very many. Blind squirrels do better.
