Do you remember when Mark Teixiera first signed with the Yankees in 2009? The slugger hit 39 homers with 122 RBI in 156 games, and had a 142 wRC+, .402 wOBA, and was worth 5.1 WAR. He remained solid for a few seasons before eventually declining and falling victim to a wrist injury. This year, though, now that he's finally healthy, Teixeira seems to be back. While the batting average still isn't there, he's boasting by far the best wRC+ of his Yankees tenure at 158. He has the same wOBA this year as he did back in '09, but after yesterday's showing, Teixeira has already hit 29 homers this year (he had hit 26 by this point back in 2009).
