MARK TEIXEIRA RUMORS

Teixeira has gone back to old approach at the plate

Remember when Mark Teixeira was going to bunt? Or hit the ball to the opposite field for the first time in his career? All that did was leave him with a pathetic .226/.281/.384/.665 line through his first 38 games. So he has given up all that and has gone back to his pull everything approach and so far it has paid off with a .448/.543/1.000/1.543 line in the eight games since....

By Friday Joe Girardi told reporters that he hadn’t seen Teixeira coughing anymore and by Tuesday his OPS is nearly 200 points higher than it had been just a week before. Teixeira started heating...

Teixeira powers Yankees by doing things the old way

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Don't expect Mark Teixeira to make too many dramatic changes with his swing again. Since the Yankees first baseman decided to abandon the changes he was attempting, returning to his normal approach, he's been on fire. He hit two homers and drove in five runs Saturday, leading the Yankees to a 9-2 victory over the A's. "I tried, it didn'...

Yankees drop Teixeira to 7th in the lineup

Last week, Yankees manager Joe Girardi resisted the urge to drop the struggling Mark Teixeira down in the order, but after a terrible week where they went 2-5 and didn’t win a single series something had to be done and they finally dropped him to 7th Monday night. “He’s been the focus of our lineup and if the other guys were hitting, he probably wouldn’t be a focus,”...

New York Yankees: To start Girardi needs to ban homers and move Tex

Mark Teixeira manning 1st base. The New York Yankees lost in Toronto for the second night in a row 4-1, and once again it was at the hand of the dead bats who left another 16 runners on base in both defeats. The line-up couldn’t muster up enough to back up Phil Hughes solid outing, as he only allowed two runs to score in almost six innings. Hughes was the only positive thing out...

Teixeira considering taking a break

Mark Teixeira has pretty much been sick all season long, reportedly first feeling symptoms the night before the season started, yet he’s still played in 37 of the Yankees first 38 games. For a guy who has a serious cough that hasn’t gone away in a month and a half, he has refused to take a day off explaining that the illness has not held him back. Teixeira can say whatever...
