However, he was unable to avoid another stay on the DL, thereby allowing Lyle Overbay to start everyday at first base, as he did earlier this season with Teixeira away from the Yankees.","date":"Tue Jun 18"},"fullName":"Mark Teixeira","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Teixeira's career appears to have hit its decline phase. His OPS has dropped in each season since 2007, to a career-low .807 in 2012 and last season he appeared in the fewest number of games (123) in his 10 seasons. He has also fallen into some bad habits with the Yankees, adapting his swing from the left side to pull the ball and exploit Yankee Stadium's short right-field porch, costing him several points in batting average. The Teixeira of today, one who turns 33 years old in April, is much closer to a .250 hitter with 30-homer power than the potential .300/40 player we saw during his prime. He's also a bit more susceptible to nagging aches and pains -- the strained right wrist that's expected to sideline him into at least May a prime example -- and might suffer in terms of runs/RBIs due to the Yankees' supporting cast's aging (or absence due to injury). Teixeira would still warrant an early-round selection if he was healthy and/or played almost anywhere else on the diamond; at the uber-deep first-base position, he's one of the players most likely to be overvalued due to past reputation.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Mar 6"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.9,"playerRater15DAY":2.4,"positionRank":41}
