Yes, Yankee fans,
you read that correctly.
In 157 games last season,
Mark Teixeira hit .308 while smacking 33 home runs and collecting 121 runs batted in. At age 28, he figures to be entering his prime. He is one of the better defensive first basemen in baseball, and his switch-hitting ability makes him a fearsome addition to any lineup.
Anyway, this isn't who the Yankees got. The Yankees got
Nick Swisher and some dude named
Kanekoa Texeira. But still, isn't Mark Teixeira awesome?
This evening's Dugout is after the jump.
