Fantasy Stats 2008
Mark Teixiera signing with the Yankees in New York was a blow to Brian Cashman. Mark Teixeira is one of the 1st most comprehensive basemen in baseball. Teixeira will be 29 years this year and the ascension of his most productive years. The number one selection in most leagues in recent years was Ryan Howard Philadelphia Phillies and Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees. If I get the number one pick this year, it will be Mark Teixeira Yankees New York. Why? The last 54 games he played with the LA Angeles have been very impressive. If the 54 games he played with the Angels Los Angeles is an indication that 2009 will be similar, Teixeira should be the deciding factor when the Yankees do it again in the playoffs 2009.
Let us take a look at these last 54 games that Mark Teixeira played for the Angels in 2009. Had he played all of the 162 parties to the year Last Angels, Teixeira would most probably had 42 home runs, 172 RBIs and he more than likely would have had a, 358 batting average with 207 Hits and it would only struck out 92 times, 107 less than Ryan Howard. Ryan Howard last year were 48 Home Runs, 146 RBIs, and 251 Batting average medicrocity for Angels Los Angeles had an excellent offense and had an excellent chance to go somewhere in the playoffs, he was so hyped. It was also one contract year, so that could also have been a factor in his game, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Moving Teixeira to the Angels last year, it was a postive one. He had gone from a team – Atlanta Braves currently languishing in the cesspool of the medicrocity Angels Los Angeles who had a very good offense and had an excellent chance to go somewhere in the playoffs, it was so hyped. It was also a contract year, so that could also have been a factor in his game, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
For leagues also taking into account defense, Mark Teixeira will be a hands down favorite. In 2008, he had a percentage of Fielding, 997. Teixeira committed 5 errors last year, and finished third in turning double plays with 130. So, if Fielding stats are taken into account in your fantasy league, Mark Teixeira should be your number one pick. The New York Yankees have one of the best infield in baseball. He won the Gold Glove twice.
Playing for the Yankees in New York in 2009 should help offensive production pad Mark Teixeira. It will strike anywhere from the 3rd position to 5th position in the batting order. Mark Teixeira should be able to wait on his way, and it is a very selective hitter with only 92 strikeouts last year. For leagues strikeouts subract it should be more of a factor. Power hitters are known for their withdrawals batting.
