Starting last week, MLB Network began their series of ranking the top ten players in baseball at each position. Last night, the episode ranking first basemen aired that was hosted by Brian Kenny along with analyst Carlos Pena. During the episode, we find out which players are on “the Shredder’s” top ten. New York Yankees’ first baseman Mark Teixiera was not on anybody’s list.
While the position is arguably the deepest position in the game, outside of starting pitching, Teixeira did make a good case to be on the list this year before he broke his leg after being hit by a pitch back on August 17 against the Minnesota Twins.
