Mark Teixeira's career as a Yankee has been a mix of high points and very low points. Taking an in-depth look at his numbers could help the Yankees make better decisions down the road.
Entering the 2015 season, Yankees fans had reason to be very worried about the middle of the lineup. First baseman Mark Teixeira was coming off a 2013 season lost to wrist problems and a 2014 campaign mired in mediocrity. Rather than compromise on his extreme pull-hitting tendencies, Tex decided to double down and go for more doubles and home runs. His stubbornness annoyed a lot of fans at the time, but it has resulted in a wRC+ of 147.
