Mark Teixeira (1b), TEX - Hot
June 25, 2006
News: Tex homered for the second straight game and pushed his average back up to .286 as he went 4-for-5 in Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Colorado Rockies. He also hit his 26th double of the season (tied for second in the majors) as he scored twice and drove in three.
Views: Here he comes. Whether he'll still be able to find a way to hit forty (he only has eight to this point) is questionable, but Tex is starting to find the power in his stroke. He's still hitting for a high average and is scoring and driving in runs at a pretty solid pace even without the dingers, but we know why you took him in the top five.
