Beltran is hot, too. If Beltran can be just a fraction as good as he once was for the rest of this season, this offense will be even scarier than it was in the first half of the season.
there were some stats about HRs by switch hitters ... you have Micky Mantle and Eddie Murray ... Teix is entering that territory. Not sure I have the stats quite right but they were impressive, all HOFers.
He's sitting on some nice career numbers. Shade under 400 hrs well over 1000 rbi lifetime average around 270 a bunch of legit gold gloves and all star games. A ring. He needs a few more years of this but he's already had a damn good career. Great all around first baseman good to see him bounce back from the 2 year injury doldrums...a few more dominant seasons maybe even 2 more and maybe the hof?
I brought up at a family get together who you'd rather have Tino Martinez or Tex -- we all said Tex.... close but Tex is just the better player.
Really tough call, as both are/were tremendous. I think that Mattingly had more range, but Tex is at least as good as him around the bag...and that's saying a lot.
And Headley has really come on strong over the last month. A-Rod and Teix are killing the ball and Didi is hitting better, but as Ells and Gardner have slumped somewhat Headley has done a nice job of picking up the slack.
1-0 Yanks.
More likely headed to the DL after the game for shortness of breath
holy mackerel ...
who singles - 10-2.
Cashman on why no innings limits for Severino: Yanks added Instructional League/winter ball innings to last year's minors total of 113.
